I read all four books this summer and it became one of my favorite scifi series.

Actually pretty /lit/ with all the references. Now I want to read more Keats and finish the Canterbury Tales.

No, it's shit.

"References" is the college student version of quoting the Simpsons. Only the lowest of the bottom-tier scum-sucking muckdwellers fall for the "references" meme.

Anyone who says this book isn't top 5 sci-fi is a liar and a pleb

In my sensibilities, when he embarrassingly failed to write anything even remotely not resembling something that isn't a 20th century American sitcom.

Nice, I read it in prison and liked it.

Yes
Only the priests tale is good, rest of the book(s) are garbage. Although if you compare it to rest of the sci-fi genre-fiction it isnt that bad since 99% of it is irredeemable trash.

Books 1-3: Great!
Book 4: Awful shit the author was clearly tired of writing. Cuck yourself via time travel!

It's ultimately brainlet-tier. I read the first two cjapters but the music references made me cringe so hard bros.

You didn't even make it to the part where Simmons starts fellating Yeats
