Book review - Cloud Atlas (David Mitchell)

[cybermule]

This was lovely. I'm actually going to read and review it again, because it's one of those books that you climb into like a wonderful clear sparkling river and feel like there is some much connectedness happening that you're missing out on. Lots of apparently disparate tales all linked together by subtle threads of interaction. Beautifully written in many different but non-jarring styles. Parts of it reminded me of Gould's Book of Fish, which is also a good read.

Really lovely. Try it if you haven't already.

One of my favourite books, it's lovely, isn't it? I'd recommend other Mitchell too (Black Swan Green, Nummber9 Dream etc). Not read Book of Fish, I may have to seek it out.

I loved Gould's Book of Fish sp maybe I shall keep Cloud Atlas in mind.
