that's because it wasn't the end, wolf.
I read
Hyperion, and enjoyed it... It did end right before the climax though....
or what I thought would be the climax.... so I got, and am reading Fall of Hyperion now... about 3/4 of the way through.
2 thumbs up.
I picked it because there were so many positive reviews from authors I like. Someone said he's a writer's writer. And that he didn't start out doing sci-fi, but that he mastered it with his first try. I could see this book being made into a movie. Very deep, layered plot line and great characters that become very real to the reader. He uses John Keats (poet) as a character (or 3) which is kind of cool It made me want to read some of his poetry... which... meh... \\anyway// good books, but you gotta read both.
