Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell

One Sentence Summary:
Two souls travel through time and always find each other. 


Review:
I loved the stories in this novel, and like everyone else was a tad annoyed to be left at the climax over and over again, relieved to have the conclusions in the second (third?) part of the book. The book is organized in an enthralling (but annoying) way, the first half of 5 stories, a complete 6th story and then the conclusion of the original 5 stories. This adds to the brilliance of the novel, in my opinion.


8/10 (Fantasy / Romance)


Notable Quotes:

"A half-read book is a half-finished love affair."
