    No. While it’s an interesting read and certainly quirky, I don’t think it stands as a timeless classic.

      Definitely to early to give it classic status but Hyperion is the most exciting book I’ve read in a long time. I feel like a couple of the stories are weak but some of them are absolutely riveting and the overarching mystery is quite compelling.

      It’s a shame the sequels only got worse and worse.
