Went to a bookstore to pick up a book for a friend and (tho I tried to resist) left with Hyperion by Dan Simmons for myself. I haven’t heard anything about it, just wanted to try something new. Any thoughts?

I have a long flight coming up and it seemed like a good fit, leaving home and my comfort genre

Very on theme for your travels then! It definitely has an interesting idea and premise, you’ll probably enjoy it! I tend to read fantasy myself, but I’ve been branching out. Have nice travels with the book!!
