davvyk 's review for:

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
3.0

I'm in two minds regarding Cloud Atlas. One part of me thinks its a spectacularly innovative and intelligent novel that has some incredible ideas that are presented well. The other half of me, the half that seeks answers, is left feeling unsatisfied. Im pretty certain even the author himself can't answer all the hows and whys in Cloud Atlas and personally i think thats an author's responsibility. To create a world that is clearly defined and interesting based on their ideas. Im pretty sure David Mitchell wouldn't be able to answer half the questions i have simply because there isn't an answer as far as he is concerned.
