Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell |
| I was so very confused by this book, yet continued to read it because friends urged me to do so. I hated the writing style and found it very hard to follow. I often read two books at once, so I hope it wasn't me!

 Many say that "there is no new thing under the sun." I'm not sure, but this book certainly makes the case that some things, especially the struggles of might versus right, have never and will never change. That sounds bleak, but the novel actually has a hopeful tone. It shows that people can improve themselves and that we are interconnected in surprising ways. Obviously, I think this is a great book. -- zstock on 01/24/2013 |

 I was interested to read these different takes on this book. I read and loved "Black Swan Green" by this author, but apparently "Cloud Atlas" is VERY different from that book. I enjoyed the author's writing, so maybe I'll give it a try, but I'll consider myself forewarned that it won't be easy going. -- ChristyAV on 01/25/2013 |

 I just finished this and found that I enjoyed it -- the interweaving of the stories kept me reading and I was very interested to find out what he'd come up with next. I will say that I would totally understand how not everyone would like this book. -- Erin on 02/05/2013 |
