Well like I said, I didn't mind the AIs! Aemon Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 06:49:42 AM
Keats spent most of the book pondering the meaning of life. Which is a fair pursuit, I suppose, for a character whose purpose is "plot device". The only reason he was there is so Simmons would have some excuse for Gladstone to know what was happening on Hyperion. lol

So no, Keats did not impress me.

...QWATZ!

Keats was the best part of that book. Ghavrel - 03/02/2010 06:39:54 AM 521 Views

Well, it's not exactly out of character for Keats. Ghavrel - 03/02/2010 08:43:50 AM 416 Views
Redeem Simmons for you from what? Jacob - 03/02/2010 03:45:48 PM 492 Views
Yeah, I meant from the first book, which I didn't particularly care for. Aemon - 03/02/2010 04:20:51 PM 537 Views
Oh don't worry there... Jacob - 03/02/2010 04:46:34 PM 436 Views
But that's the problem: by sheer word volume, it WAS the primary story. Aemon - 03/02/2010 05:30:06 PM 477 Views
Oh, I agree. That's what I meant by 'dragging'. Jacob - 03/02/2010 08:46:02 PM 445 Views
Wow, I'm reading this right now. Little more than halfway. Gher - 03/02/2010 05:58:48 PM 520 Views
Yeah, definitely! Aemon - 03/02/2010 06:28:16 PM 504 Views
Alright, just finished it. Gher - 05/02/2010 08:08:17 PM 568 Views
Maybe that was part of the problem. Aemon - 06/02/2010 12:31:41 AM 650 Views
Yeah, audiobooks introduce a whole 'nother twist... Gher - 06/02/2010 06:37:54 PM 616 Views
Heh. A lot can change in three centuries. Ghavrel - 06/02/2010 06:24:58 AM 567 Views
Yeah, I just read the blurb. Gher - 06/02/2010 06:39:52 PM 527 Views
The Endymion books are... different. It's less of an ensemble. beetnemesis - 04/02/2010 07:15:41 AM 529 Views
Hmm. Thanks. Aemon - 04/02/2010 06:34:45 PM 550 Views
