Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
5.0

This book was everything I hoped it would be! It's been on my TBR for quite a while. I've seen the movie multiple times, but the book somehow still puts even that excellent adaptation to shame in some respects. The nesting of the stories and how they all connect is so well thought out. One of my favorite parts of the book is indeed the plot with Robert Frobisher & Vivian Ayers. Mitchell does a stunning job of explaining the sounds of the music...not an easy thing to do. I listened to the audiobook version, and it was excellently done. Each story had it's own narrator/s, which I think really made you feel the connections and separations between the plots. It's a long book, but completely worth every minute.
