I was enthralled when I read the series 10-12 years ago. One fairly minor quibble, as I recall, was that to me there was a very slight quality drop off in the 2nd and 4th books. By that I mean Hyperion and Endymion were astonishingly great, and their sequels/2nd halves were merely excellent.
I'd definitely like to get these books into the mix for a re-read.
