Cloud Atlas; David Mitchell

Just finished reading it. I recommend it highly but with minor reservations.  I don't think it's a particularly easy read.  The language is a little unusual so you have to be prepared to work a bit. It's a very interesting and thought provoking book.  I'm very glad I read it and would be most interested to hear what anyone else (who has read it) thinks about it.....[:D]

I read it too, a while ago,  one of the best books I'd read in a long time - thought-provoking, it certainly is. Was totally drawn into the individuals' stories.

I read quite a lot, and often don't even remember when I see a book whether I have read it or not. Yet, when I saw this topic title, I knew instantly which book you are referring to - that book was quite haunting, and left a strong impression. I would highly recommend it.

I loved this one but actually think his earlier novel, Ghostwritten, is even better. Truly outstanding. Neither are books suited to being read in brief, sleepy snippets at bedtime, however.

Thank you, Fay. I will certainly look out for Ghostwritten.
