I never read his books, but Hyperion is on my list. Is it that good? I see more people talking about Dune.
I didn't really enjoy the Hyperion books all that much myself.
I enjoyed Dune much more, if you're talking about the first book. However, as for the series...Dune is one of those series where I really enjoyed the first book and then felt that each successive book was less-good than the previous one. YMMV.
It's really good, it makes the world(s) feel alive and not like an opera.
I think it feels alive AND like an Opera. So good.
I tried Dune and I just found it sooooo boring. It's more political and squarely in the space opera genre, which hyperion is not.
