Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Mar. 26th, 2006 03:34 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Six interlocking lives - one amazing adventure. In a narrative that circles the globe and reaches from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic future, David Mitchell erases the boundaries of time, genre and language to offer an enthralling vision of humanity's will to power, and where it will lead us.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Technically this is an excellent book, but it grabs me by the head rather than the heart (despite its intentions to the contrary). I would recommend reading it for the assured way in which Mitchell keeps the strands together and uses so many different styles and voices.
