I've yet to read "Hyperion", though I've heard a lot of positive comments.
I re-read "Ender's Game" recently, and it stood up well to a second reading. I then went on through the series, but they suffer from significantly diminishing returns, and I gave up after two more books. (Hardly a surprise - "Game" is a bloody hard act to follow.) The deal-killer for me has been reading some of Card's public comments of late - I find his attitudes extremely unpleasant, and I can't put them out of my mind long enough now to let his books speak.
I think it's probably better sometimes to know nothing about an author's persona.
