The flawed genius returns, carrying a load of three murders on her back. With her confidante and a do folder Blomkvist,this tale will dwell darker into he life of one of the most perfect badass flawed yet like able hero ever to grace the novels.

Excellent. Complicated characters, great mystery writing and the flow was perfect. I hust want to know if Swedish dark coffee all freaking day as one scene in this book talks of Blomkvist making it at very late night.....

One of the greatest stories I've read. Some authors devour concepts, others characters and few great authors indulge in twists of the plot. How would it be if all three gets together and on top of it, written by two authors, interconnected by a time interval that spun over two decades -- this is the novel, or more specifically novella-couplet.

The story revolves around what happens during the end of the universe and dwells into the concept of parallel universes, time dilated events while trouncing on the concepts that make our lives, the impact of parent-child connection, of self realization while preaching a small philosophical adage that being in peace with oneself is the best a man's singularity can experience.

A must-read, especially the icing on the cake that is the final chapter.

Similar to M.Night Shyamalan's Village, but with a double negative at the end.

Early Ged, before he became the highest Wizard of the Earthsea, about who sculpted his young mind and what came about before. Lovely writing.

Amazing but tough to read sequel to the hugo award winning Hyperion follows the pilgrims on their voyage to the unpredictable Hyperion. Taking parallels from the life of the poet John Keats the story revolves about the place the AI holds in the people's lives. Tough choices, reasonings and an ending that contradicts the facade of the book, a brilliant voyage where the people from the future have no better music than the celebrated classics and Beatles coated with great science fiction ideas about instant travel. This is tough especially at the ending but sure worth the experience. I wished Dan SImmons had been more crisp with the thoughts, seemed elaborate than what would've suited the flow of the book but still loved it.

Great collection of short stories, stories that are earthly but science fiction, that are grandiose but concise, that are epic but heartfelt. Some of them moved me to tears - like the Humanity test, some made me shudder - the Bee's kiss, but the mega ending was for the last short story - Georgia on my mind.

No one can review this book. It moved me, it shaked my inner understanding, made me reorder my priorities, made me happy inside. This did what no non-fiction book or any friend could do, it gave me myself back. I will forever be indebted to John.
