Endymion

A great Sci-Fi collection (Hyperion & Endymion). Some lengths in the novel, but the universe created by Dan Simmons is awesome, to say the least. From the bone chilling horrors of the priest crucifying himself in a hellish burning forest to avoid resurrection, and ending with the poetic beauty of "Life 2.0" in the Fall of Endymion, this book collection is worth every moment reading it.

this is the first one of his books ive come accross and i was strangly intruiged by it ! ive since found "the fall of hyperion" and "hyperion" which im currently reading...the thought of the cruciform freaks me out a bit with the priest and his entourage dying and ressurecting constantly chilling!!!! very good read im looking forward to finishing hyperion so i can see a bit more about what came...more

Even more challenging for the mind than the previous two books in the series... I don't remember where the dyson sphere made of trees is in this book or in the next one, but it simply was a direct hit. It stays into my brain even now, and it's years since I first read it.

Despite the creepy pedophilic relationship between the two leads, this novel does a good job of continuing the previous stories. As with the last set, it is only half the tale. Geek reading deluxe.
