Book Reviews of Cloud Atlas: A Novel

Book Review: undoubtedly good, but...
Summary: 4 Stars

I thought David Mitchell's "Ghostwritten" was one of the most exciting new books I'd ever read: I was transfixed by what he'd imagined, stories all round the world beginning to connect in some weird transmutation of psychic powers and globalization. I waited excitedly for his second book, but I didn't like "Number 9 Dream" nearly as much. Now Mitchell has returned to the form of "Ghostwritten" for his third novel, and the book consists of connected stories. It has the world's most beautiful cover, and begins on a nineteenth century voyage of discovery, then travels to 1930s Germany, and from there onwards.. Slowly you begin to see the links between all the different characters in time. But, I still don't think it's as good as "Ghostwritten". Nevertheless, I believe that David Mitchell will still be being read in the next century, and really you can't give higher praise than that.
