I loved this book and how it had a story within the story.  My favorite storylines were Zeno's Anna's, Omeir's, and Konstance's.  Seymour didn't have my favorite at the beginning but I appreciated his growth.  There was a point in the story where the storylines of the different characters overlap and this was done seamlessly.  There were parts of the story that were sad, but overall Cloud Cuckoo Land was a great read.
