Hyperion

I had trouble getting into this book, but once I did, I enjoyed it quite a bit.I has the characters telling their backstories, and it does a good job of using different narratives, so the stories feel like they are being told by different people. I did enjoy some stories more than others, but that's ok.One major complaint, this book and its sequel, [b:The Fall of Hyperion 77565 The Fall of Hyperion Dan Simmons http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1329610795s/77565.jpg 1882596], were written as 1 book basically, so the first book ends at a very bad place if you aren't planning to jump right into the 2nd book...
