Book Review of Cloud Atlas

Cloud Atlas
Cloud Atlas
Author: David Mitchell
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


I enjoyed this book, although it is not a book I would approach like a light novel I would read on the beach. Instead, think of it like reading a novel by Faulkner, as it is a lot of work reading it. (I read this book on a two day bus ride from Mississippi to Winnipeg, Canada.) The chapters are written from different points of view and from different period of time, both in the past and in the future. Some of the chapters were easier to read than others. The different dialect took some time to get used to, but overall the book was quite interesting.
