Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
3.0
While I enjoy Mitchell’s writing style and use of vivid and engaging description, I was unable to see a strong connection between the alternating plots. Each section on its own was elaborate and well conceived, but the book failed to come across as one story with characters connected through history (as I believe was intended).
One characteristic of Cloud Atlas that kept my attention was the creation and use of unique dialects for different characters meant to reflect the time period and present atmosphere in each chapter read.
