You won't get a contrary opinion here. [As an aside, I think I rated Setebos as "Least scary monster ever" (not that that was the point), though kudos for the fear-factor of Caliban - I don't tend to argue with character-portrayals that managed to work their way into one of my dreams/nightmares]. It was not...satisfying to me, at least not as satisfying as I found the Hyperion Cantos. Though, again, credit to Orphu (and Mahnmut) for taking me somewhere "classic" I hadn't been before.

Cheers,
Marc
