From your experience reading Hyperion? Or, have you read and disliked other Simmons novels?
Personally, I absolutely love Hyperion. I find the second novel to be good, but of slightly less quality than the first. The framework for that novel was excellent, but I felt the novel dragged at times. Still, overall I give it a rather good rating.
My favorite Simmons novel is Ilium, then Hyperion, followed by The Terror. I'm of the opinion that Simmons doesn't finish as well as he starts.

Yeah, I meant from the first book, which I didn't particularly care for.

But that's the problem: by sheer word volume, it WAS the primary story.
