Captivating....interesting...engrossing....probably one of the most differently written novels I've ever read.....one story builds on another.....it's challenging, which I prefer.....I really enjoyed it. I got bogged down in one section due to the heavy dialect, but with breaks,and getting into the groove (some reading aloud , helped), I got through it,and it fits in the story,and is part of the story...for sure.....

I highly recommend this one...on a cold rainy or snowy day.....when you are alon

This review contains notes on the Audiobook Version of Cloud Atlas

I've been wanting to read Cloud Atlas for some time and the upcoming movie (and a nudge from Sword and Laser) gave me the push to read it. I'm going to go story by story and then wrap it up at the end.

The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing is set in the 1850s and written in the form of Adam Ewing's diary. This story was the most difficult for me due to the archaic language used. I appreciated the themes and moral ideas in this section

Film adaptation was excellent.

Kudos to author for being able to write in such different voices.
