Book Reviews of The Hyperion Omnibus (Gollancz)
Book Review: Up there with Dune as one of the best sci fi novels ever!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Astounding, life changing, amazing, rollercoaster of a sci fi space opera, that i cannot praise enough as my grasp of the English language is not quite strong enough. I am a very discerning sci fi reader and was blown away by these novels. I have converted friends and family for whom the word "sci fi" conjurs up re-runs of Star Trek to sci fi fans with this novel. Practically every friend or aquantance i have talked to about these books has read the series after much intimidation from me and reported back in full agreement - This is a series you must not miss if you call yourself a "Reader" even if you dont like sci fi. There are so many layers to this book i cant explain here, but its like a great film, you dont want it to end and when it does, it stays with you forever. I have re-visited the story countless times and rank it up there with the greats of the 20th Century, easily as good as the Dune series, Tolkien, Phillip K Dick etc an absolute classic of the genre and defines the "whos" from the "Wannabes" in my opinion. Rumours of a film/s abound, lets hope it ends up a Peter Jackson as opposed to a David Lynch, if they go ahead and make a movie/s of it. Dan, you are truly a great, you deserve all the praise thats been heaped on you for this series. Also read his "Illium" (soon to follow "Odyseus") novel - Illium was also another superb sci fi opera.....thanks Dan Simmons for enriching my life and the life of those I know...stunning!!!
