Well, my memory is awful so I have no recollection of that one (although I do seem to have read it and rated it as 2/5). I've read Hyperion, which I really liked, Fall of Hyperion, which was a bit disappointing, then Ilium which I found so terrible and off-putting that I stopped looking into this guy altogether.

I think Hyperion borders on horror, but speaking of Dune, I am just now reading it for the first time and so far so great. Very cinematic, reads like a screenplay. I hear the guy goes on some weird homophobic tangent in a later novel but this one so far seems free of overt prejudice (apart from maybe an undercurrent of misogyny).
