Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
This is a creative, clever post-modernist novel that combines a lot of the favorite things I look for in a book. I enjoyed the sci-fi aspects, the suspense, the humor, the puzzle tying the various stories together, and most of all the characters. The characters were extremely diverse and their stories so different, but throughout the book I found myself engaged in each character's tale and feeling like the characters are all connected. The book is like a virtuosic concerto, displaying Mitchell's rigor as a writer as well as his ability to write a variety of genres with excellent skill. It demands some patience and endurance from the reader, but overall it was well worth the time it took to get through it.
