sequel w/ severe pacing issues

Revisado: 12-01-23

absolutely loved the anthology nature of Hyperion, but Fall is a more straightforward plot that has been streched quite thin. feels like there was a mandate that Fall of H have a similar page count as Hyperion but there's only half as much story. a lot of repeating info from the first book, a lot of repeating info from chapter to chapter, so much so that I feel punished for paying attention. there are several big reveals to mysteries that I guessed at an entire book ago that this book slowly drips out; smart characters take forever to put the math together in a way that feels like padding (also, if you're going to reveal two different characters are actually the same person, you can't describe one of them with brown eyes and the other with green, c'mon Dan).
if i wasn't reading this for bookclub I would have stopped at act 2. this was an audiobook book I was begging to be finished by the epilogue (unlike Hyperion, which I restarted as soon as I finished the first time). huge disappointment, maybe I'll try the 3-4 books much much later when the stink of this wears off.

really good story + performance, bad production

Revisado: 03-29-23

good story and I love George Guidall but very frustrating that the audio frequently dips to silence in-between sentences. needs some white noise to not be distracting and whoever the audio engineer for this should know that

narrator takes a second to get used to

Revisado: 08-29-22

I thought the narrator might not be the best choice because he has a kind of gruff military voice but after the first couple of stories I got used to it and he's definitely still a very good narrator

a dry-witted banger of Edwardian fiction

Revisado: 08-01-22

the narrator is nearly a parody of the hoity-toity squishy British accent but serves the dry humor of the story quite well. enjoyed the whole thing got through it very quickly. E.M. Forester is becoming one of my favorite authors.

good conclusion to great trilogy

Revisado: 07-13-22

Worth the 130 hours it took to get here. it took me a minute to get used to the narrators proise voice but wow he is so good at all the different character accents.

Was curious about the first true crime novel and am glad I read it once but probably won't ever revisit it. Scott Brick is a solid performance as always.

Revisado: 02-23-22

This is really two short stories in the same setting, the first story is the best writing I've read from Herbert and the second one is okay. Scott Brick is always good but he is especially well suited for these.
