I would have never guessed that a Dan Simmons Hyperion novel could be so boring. Once Father-Captain de Soya exits the plot about the third of the way in, there's no character and no idea left in this book that I really care about-- once again, too much time is spent on dull travelogue, with this book adding cod-philosophy for good measure, and also resurrecting bunches of characters from the first two books only to undermine what we learned about them there. I don't even get what Simmons could have been thinking. I should have listened and ended with book 2, or maybe even book 1.
