I had seen the movie and loved it, but the book is even better! The City of Fallen Angels (his 2nd book) is just as good, if not better! I highly recommend both of his books. I wish he would write more.

This was something of a cult classic, with several terms that entered the (somewhat) common vernacular. It talked about concepts of free love, polyamory, and "What if Jesus came back. Would we recognize him or crucify him again?"

Continues with the multi-tiered cliffhanger adventure story from the prequel Hyperion but adds the additional perspective of space opera-esque interstellar politics and war, revelations about the greater universe around the main characters, and ultimately leading to drastic changes for humanity. I really liked the first half, offering conclusion for many of the first book character stories while building anticipation for prophesied conflagration. Sadly I was disappointed with how that conflict played out, finding too much of it and its implications drifting out of science fiction into more ambiguous fantasy. By the end the great cosmic unknowns hinted at throughout the two novels are all too quickly cast in abstract or split into other vague constructs. Granted, Dan Simmons' writing here is clearly more fantasy and poetry than science, but the attempts to exposit concepts like gods and time with physics and space would have been better left to the imagination, as they were in the first book and earlier half of this book. Perhaps it is a bias resulting from my different perspective on technology, thanks to the 20 years between my reading and Simmons' writing, but I was not with the author in his philosophizing about humans and their relationship with technology. As such the climax of the book did not hold the awe or surprise I believe he wished to engender, my interest already disengaged from the preceding unconvincing fuzziness. The book is mostly a decent page-turner nonetheless, and I enjoyed the suspenseful order of events. Final notes: This refers to the 2008 Audible audiobook, very well read by Victor Bevine. Also, without revealing too much, if you identify with the poet John Keats you will probably like this book.

I don't think the poetry really made any sense with the book. It didn't even really seem like poetry. To be honest, I forgot about the poetry aspect as I started reading and it seemed like a normal novel with odd spacing after paragraphs. The story was very interesting. These three women have a lot of issues and the title "triangles" was perfect. However, I had a hard time keeping the characters separated in my mind (especially Holly and Miranda) during the first half of the book. The book was also a little too dirty for my taste, but that could just be me.
Read this book within days after my mom died. It was a good story.

Not very interesting reading. I'll try some of the other books, I feel a litle badly because I didn't like it as much as I hoped. I think I'll enjoy some of the novels.

OK so my actual rating for this book is 3.5 stars. Scott convinced me to read it becasue it didn't have any annoying little girls in it. I liked it much better than the first book. And I think I would have LOVED it as a kid. These are definitely good books to collect for your kiddos.
Wow, what a thought-provoking, scary, nail-biting and exciting read. I loved this book. It really kept me guessing. I had it narrowed down to two possibilities but I did not know for sure which one was right until the last thirty pages or so. I recommend this book to Angie :) and I found out you were looking for it and I had it! So sorry I had no idea you had been looking, but the funny thing is that Beka and I knew you would want to read it so she put your name on it without knowing you were looking for it! So enjoy and come see me when you are finished.
