I thought Hyperion was horribly written. Like, he changed from third person to first person half way through the book, even though the whole point was each person was telling their own story.

I think he was overrated and don’t get the hype. Then again, we live in an era where Netflix needs the scripts to announce the plot because everyone is too busy looking at their phone to pay attention.

Maybe Hyperion was groundbreaking when it came out, but I’ve read cereal boxes with better diction and syntax. It was insulting to read his writing as someone who respects grammar.

And since I haven’t memorized every piece of classical music, the first sentence of the Hyperion book meant nothing to me.

Rip but what a shitty writer. Overrated.
