A review by mmetzdorf
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

4.0

arduous but alluring. Each chapter is its own short story, stopped halfway through and interrupted by the next. At chapter six you get the full story and then resolution for the rest of them in reverse order (Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). Hard to get through the first half, but much smoother on the way out. Satisfying to have completed, but it took a long time to do so.
