Ilium Finished

I have finished Ilium by Dan Simmons. I think he is an amazing author with the most extraordinary imagination. He has the most complicated visions of fantastical futuristic societies. It was a very good idea for me to read The Iliad first. That way I did not have to worry about the plot of the Trojan War as it is played in Ilium - I had it fresh in my memory and could easily see where the book deviated from the epic.
