What Members Thought
I couldn't stand this book the first time I read it. I usually agree with the consensus with regard to award winners. Will have to give it another try.

I read Hyperion 10 years ago and wasn't real impressed. It is essentially a futuristic Canterbury Tales with six pilgrims each telling their stories on the way to see the deadly Shrike and the Time Tombs.
