I have loved many others of Dan Simmons' books, but Drood wasn't one of them. I waited for the horror and the terror of the underworld, and I didn't get it. Although I finished the book, I didn't get the satisfaction I've gotten from some of his other novels (like Olympos, Hyperion, and Song of Kali). Drood just felt drawn out, and while this wasn't supposed to be an action-packed book, I still expected something to happen, and I felt like it never did.

If you're a Simmons fan, give it a try. If you've never read Simmons before, don't start with Drood.
