Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018. A good read, hard to put down. Nonetheless this book (and Mr.Callanan)have rectified that fact. The synopsis for Liam Callanan's "The Cloud Atlas" is actually the synopsis for David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas". Something went wrong. As wild as a videogame, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon. It just was ultimately too inconsistent and I speed-read much of the second half.

Cloud Atlas is arguably his best work, combining a structural cleverness reminiscent of Calvino ("If on a Winter's Night a Traveller") or Delany ("Dhalgren") with a complex insightful story telling that reminds me of Joyce's Ulysses or The Raj Quartet.

Cloud Atlas is vast; spreading across five different time lines, arching from the eighteen hundreds to a far flung, dystopian future, featuring a breadth of characters connected in infinitesimal ways, telling stories which are in turn banal and fascinating, complex and the essence of simplicity, harrowing and heart-warming. Living in Seattle, I'm about as far north as I care to be, and travel is usually to sunnier, more southerly climes. David Mitchell has a genius way of adapting his writing style and tone for each of the six characters in a way that almost makes it feel like completely different books all together, but they all tie together in some way. But I did enjoy this adventure up north very much!

By the time I figured out that I was reading the wrong book, I was completely engrossed. To me, the hints were tantalising but ultimately unsatisfying. But I enjoyed the book nonetheless.  $17.16, $17.69  $15.88, $41.01  $17.64, $13.73 David Mitchell is the author of the novels Ghostwritten, number9dream, Cloud Atlas, Black Swan Green, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, The Bone Clocks and Slade House.
