One of My All-Time Favorite Series

If you like Sci-fi and haven't read the Hyperion series yet, you're doing yourself a disservice. It has wonderful plots that intertwine with each other, vivid imagery, complex characters that are so well developed that you really care what happens to them. The series delves into many topics, such as religion, philosophy, technology, war, and science. As soon as I finished this one, I picked up the other 3 in the series, without even reading a description of them. The final book made me cry. I am just starting over with this first book again, hoping to catch things I missed the first read-through.

I can't say enough good things about Dan Simmons' detailed universe in the Hyperion Cantos.

Just read it, you won't regret it.

After watching the first Deadpool and laughing harder than I had in a long time at the movies, I couldn't think of any way that they could improve on the anti-hero's story with a sequel. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and new characters that were introduced along with the reappearance of beloved old faces. Deadpool's growth in this movie, while hilarious, was refreshing to see despite the sad undercutting of a death early on. Many times during the movie they introduce topics and people that at first has you confused and thinking that it was probably a terrible decision, quickly leads to you loving every second. Although I never thought that I would say it before watching this movie, in my opinion, this is one case where the sequel might be better than the original.
