Daeman Uhr is my new Messenger name!--I'm up to where they first talk about acquiring a spaceship. It's soooo cool to be starting another huge Simmons epic. I love this book so far-there's mention of dinosaurs, but where's the piano? Dan has to have his dinosaurs, doesn't he? Whatever gets him off the ground, I guess...

I never imagined Uhr as plump!  Finally got back into reading. No not Ilium, per say, just reading in general. 3 sides coming from Earth to Mars and Jupiter to Mars, only 16 more pages but awesome, initial, setup...

Wow! EVERYTHING changes after Daeman gets eaten alive! The huge battle at Ilium is awesome! A bleeding God? Descriptions of the weird Voynix (slightly reminiscent of the Shrike) we're already motoring high in second gear and I'm digging it! |

I'm glad you are enjoying the book! Greek mythos and far future high tech scince fiction make for a good combination!

I've been enjoying the moravec journey, but the other two vehicless drag a bit between pgs 300 and 400...the entire book is starting to pick it up now. |

My favorite character is Daemon - be sure to follow his story carefully.

I'm up to Savi and Co. finding the bodies on the ring and Aphrodite ready to fry Hockenberry-fascinating stuff-the calibani are wicked! |

Finished-sometimes the book was hard to get through but well worth it for the ending. Yes Daeman seriously transformed himself! Awesome ending, left me hangin' for Olympos . I just got a little confused with the worm holes: was everybody actually on earth all the time? And then they went to Mars through the hole-I thought they were always on Mars-itwas kind of confusing at one point... |
