kmardahl 's review for:
Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
What an impressive creation. I'm fascinated by the virtuosity of merely writing this book. This was Storytelling with a capital "S". I think it bears a re-read at some point to find more details second time around. I'm not quite sure about there being any true, solid connection between each of the 6 stories. I'll ponder that in the coming days. Only 5 and 6 seem to have a real connection. Still, each story was a good tale. Managing to write 6 distinct styles is impressive. I confess I am hard pressed to say what this book is about or what genre it is. It is, I repeat, good storytelling, and I, for one, love a good story.
PS Read as audiobook.
PPS The concept has a musical quality to it - a thought supported by something said in the second half of the second tale. Maybe this is an orchestration for the mind? (Apologies if that sounds pretentious.)
