Difficult to juggle at times, but an overall beautiful story and amazing compositional accomplishment by Mitchell.

I got to page 250 and decided I just didn't want to finish. I wasn't enjoying the story or the characters. It took me a long time to get into the book, so that may have something to do with my problem finishing it.

If someone asks "what's your favourite book" - I will without fail say Cloud Atlas, if someone wants a recommendation - I will tell them Cloud Atlas.
I will read it when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I want to be inspired, when I want to feel comforted... You get the picture - I love this book.
