Title: Sprawling masterwork
Review: Mitchell is the current wunderkind of British fiction and in Cloud Atlas it is not hard to see why. An interlocking blend of six terrific studies of hope in the face of opression is presented in an ingenious and entertaining manner. Some of the links may be less convincing than others, and certainly the storytelling is a tad uneven. And yet one cannot but admire and enjoy the sheer boldness and talent that unfolds on the page. Not to be missed.
