    I liked "Hyperion." I threw "The Fall of Hyperion" against the
    wall after a hundred pages or so.

    It is so long since I read it that I can't remember detail but didn't
    The Fall tie up all the loose ends of Hyperion. I also liked Hyperion, 4
    stars but The Fall of Hyperion only 3 stars which means I enjoyed it but
    didn't continue with Endymion.
    Time for a re read.
