A review by mattstebbins
The Theory of Clouds by Stéphane Audeguy

4.0

Light and airy, like a summer salad, or, fittingly enough, a sky full of cirrus wisps, The Theory of Clouds held my attention even while being mostly completely forgettable. The writing style is simple, clean, and the plot similarly straight-forward: two stories running parallel, one faux-historical, the other fictitious in a more modern setting. Only a day later, I must admit I couldn't tell you much about the novel -- not the kind of book that you sink into, or really absorb and are changed by -- and yet, I found it quite enjoyable, in a way that I rarely enjoy such simple books.
Admittedly, this hardly sounds like a glowing review. But read it; The Theory of Clouds is plenty enjoyable, and fun, as a light summer read should be.
