I really enjoyed a couple of the stories and was almost in tears about Rachel, but as a review I read after I finished said: this felt like a prequel rather than a complete story. I really would have liked some resolution. I would be interested in knowing how these people got chosen. It isn't like they were particularly public about what had happened to each of them in regards to Hyperion. I suppose that is part of book 2.
Overall this ranks as one of the best books I have read this year for the story telling and quality, but by far the most abrupt ending.
I am surprised no one commented about me reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz right after finishing this when I posted in the "what are you reading" thread.
