gomek 's review for:
Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
This book is intricately constructed, a series of six books in one. Could easily been a writerly show-off, but the individual books are compelling. And they comprise all styles, from historical fiction to science fiction. And normally I'm no sci-fi fan, but the future sections are the strongest of all the "books" here. And it raises an interesting question after it's all over... if there is a soul, and it exists as it does in this book-with no linking individuality or thematic continuity-then what IS it, really?
