laurencjay 's review for:
Cloud Atlas
by David Mitchell
My best advice for reading this book: Get through the first 40 pages, because after you do you will throughly enjoy it. Once I got to the second 'movement' of the sextet and the narrators changed, I really started to get into the story line. While six narrators tell their stories in completely different time periods, styles, and voice, Mitchell does a beautiful job of connecting the 6 stories without it seeming hoke-y. I most enjoyed the Luisa Rey and Son-Mi-451, but that could just be my love of female protagonists.
I was coming into reading this book with the mindset that it would be a sort edgy sci-fi novel written with six different narrators, but it was so much more than that. Cloud Atlas is evocative and seamlessly written in way that I could only adequately compare it's structure to a perfectly balanced symphony. Read this book and you'll understand exactly what I mean.
