Keats was the best part of that book. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 06:39:54 AM
I read the third book in the series, and I didn't like it too much. No Zen-quoting AI talking to Keats constructs. Which might mean you'll adore it.

But... seriously?!

Fall! – No, by Tellus and her briny robes!
Over the fiery frontier of my realms
I will advance a terrible right arm
Shall scare that infant thunderer, rebel Jove,
And bid old Saturn take his throne again."

Well like I said, I didn't mind the AIs! - 03/02/2010 06:49:42 AM 486 Views
Well, it's not exactly out of character for Keats. - 03/02/2010 08:43:50 AM 416 Views
Redeem Simmons for you from what? - 03/02/2010 03:45:48 PM 493 Views
Yeah, I meant from the first book, which I didn't particularly care for. - 03/02/2010 04:20:51 PM 538 Views
Oh don't worry there... - 03/02/2010 04:46:34 PM 436 Views
But that's the problem: by sheer word volume, it WAS the primary story. - 03/02/2010 05:30:06 PM 477 Views
Oh, I agree. That's what I meant by 'dragging'. - 03/02/2010 08:46:02 PM 445 Views
Wow, I'm reading this right now. Little more than halfway. - 03/02/2010 05:58:48 PM 521 Views
Yeah, definitely! - 03/02/2010 06:28:16 PM 504 Views
Alright, just finished it. - 05/02/2010 08:08:17 PM 568 Views
Maybe that was part of the problem. - 06/02/2010 12:31:41 AM 650 Views
Yeah, audiobooks introduce a whole 'nother twist... - 06/02/2010 06:37:54 PM 616 Views
Heh. A lot can change in three centuries. - 06/02/2010 06:24:58 AM 569 Views
Yeah, I just read the blurb. - 06/02/2010 06:39:52 PM 527 Views
The Endymion books are... different. It's less of an ensemble. - 04/02/2010 07:15:41 AM 529 Views
Hmm. Thanks. - 04/02/2010 06:34:45 PM 550 Views
