Story
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

An enjoyable book. Well- written throughout. Each character’s story drew me in. Highly recommended. Content warning: sexual content.

Mary Jane & sexism - crutches!
Reviewed: 08-13-24
As much as I enjoyed meeting Alex and his adventure in deciphering a new land, new powers, and new companions, the author’s use of an overpowered and barely challenged hero and the sexism in the treatment of women made the second book too much to bear.

Story
The media and politicians have been sounding the alarm for years, and with every fresh tragedy involving a young perpetrator comes another flurry of articles about the dangers of violent media. The problem is this: Their fear isn't supported by the evidence. In fact, unlike the video game-trained murder machines depicted in the press, school shooters are actually less likely to be interested in violent games than their peers. In reality, most well-adjusted children and teenagers play violent video games, all without ever exhibiting violent behavior in real life.

A sensationalist review of sensationalism
Reviewed: 08-06-23
Too biased to be taken seriously. The author’s points could be true, but there is too much bias toward love of the video games. It would be refreshing to see someone else propose a better analysis of violence connected to video games.

Good in places
Reviewed: 03-10-22
Character voicing and story can be engaging at times, particularly in fight scenes. Otherwise simplistic and 2-dimensional at best.

My 6 year old daughter loves this book.

Wonderful for children
Reviewed: 07-16-15
Our children (ages 7 and 9) have listened to the entire Henry Huggins collection two years in a row and they have loved it from start to finish both times. Cleary's stories are full of real-life adventure. Characters face the problems of growing up and gaining independence. They make decisions and love with them. They deal with grown ups. They work toward goals. They put up with each other and find ways to get along. These stories are beautiful and they encourage out kids to have a positive attitude.
