Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell

cloud

I have to admit that it took me a while to get into this book. In fact I found it really difficult to read at first and also mightily confusing and a bit boring.

But I persevered and I'm delighted that I did.

This is the kind of book that sucks you in and takes over your imagination in every waking moment. I found myself reading it everywhere and anywhere, dying to know what happened next, and that's the sign of a good story in my opinion!

It's unconventional in its style, it's imagery is startling clear and the connections and coincidences in the story keep you thinking.

It's definately a book I would recommend!

I absolutely Loved this book!!! Sooo ingenuous and refreshing! I simply don't know how Mitchell could gather together so much creativity... It really surprised me. I can Totally recommend this book too! It's nice to see that I'm not alone with my opinion :)

It's quite a long time ago since I read it but I actually intend to read it a second time :P
