Jim's Review
🐛
Jim is going to say something controversial: Hyperion might be the greatest sci-fi novel ever written. There, he said it. Each pilgrim's tale is a different subgenre of sci-fi executed at the highest possible level. The Scholar's Tale is one of the most heartbreaking stories in the genre. The Shrike is the most terrifying creature in all of fiction. Simmons burrowed deep into the human condition and struck gold. Five worms — an absolute masterpiece.
