"The Fall of Hyperion", by Dan Simmons

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Abandoned at around the halfway mark...

I'm sorry, but i'm afraid it's just too darn long! 90% of the prose seems to trundle along wasting time on irrelevant, inane detail -- dispensing the interesting stuff in agonizingly sparse doses. I gave up when I realized I didn't care enough about the resolution of the increasingly convoluted plot to turn another page.
