About a week ago I finished the second installment of the Hyperion series. As most, if not all of you know, English is not my first language, even though I’ve read most of the books I have in English. Fall of Hyperion proved to be as hard as DeSade’s Juliette was for me 10 years ago.

I don’t want to give much away about the Fall of Hyperion though, I will just quote the wondrous tenth Doctor Who (as played by David Tennant) who mentions time is not as we imagine but it’s all “Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey”. Proved impressively in this book, I was just left with my mouth agape at the end, which is only the beginning for the next book, “Endymion”.

The Boy told me this is “A book so big it had to be divided in four books” and I’m currently halfway through the story, but I REALLY need to rest of it because of how complicated it felt for me reading it, so I took a simpler book (which I will end soon, and will write about with a bit more detail than this one) this time around.

And Wilson told me that there were several books and comics which were probably IMPOSSIBLE to make into movies, one was my all time favorite: Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, and another was the whole Hyperion thing. I can see why! It’s too twisted and confusing, but wonderful and beautiful at the same time.

I don’t think I’ll be able to say much about any Hyperion or Endymion books without giving much of the plot, but, I can definitely recommend them!
