Hyperion: The Final Exam

from Book Retorts · host Book Retorts

This week we look back (fondly?) on our epic time with the Dan Simmons series Hyperion. It's the end of the semester and Professor Sam has prepared a surprise final exam for his students Danielle and Filip. Let's see how much they can remember as they fill in the blanks and answer questions about the entire series. Maybe Professor Sam gets some answers wrong too, it's that challenging of an exam! Then we have the oral presentation portion of the test as our students present their favorite, and least favorite, things from the books. Lastly, we have some final thoughts on the series as a whole to finally put an end to this journey. So join us as we try to pass the test and earn our degrees. If you want to take the exam yourself, you can find it here on our website, just send it in for a grade and if you pass, you can proudly proclaim you have a degree in Hyperionology from Book Retorts University! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us!
