Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

I was already about 200 pages into the book when I found out about the challenge and I'm enjoying it immensely. The author pulls off the writing style so well in how it changes depending on the narrator of each chapter. All are unique and fascinating.

I also started reading this book when i found out about the challenge. Had a bit of a rough start but now I can't put it down! It's so good and well done and reminds me of my favorite book If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino

I read that one of David Mitchell's inspirations for this book is actually "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller" (which I read after I was done with Cloud Atlas). Cloud Atlas is one of my favorites, and I love the movie version too.

I really want to read this book but I feel like it is one that deserves my complete and undivided attention which I can't give right now :( I love the movie though!

I saw this at the bookstore the other day, but felt a little intimidated by it since I had seen the movie. Like Lora said, definitely one of those books that you need to sit down and spend some quality time with.

I might try to give it a go since you guys seem to like it so much!

I just finished it and I REALLY enjoyed it I'm probably going to watch the movie soon I've heard great things about it! also it does require attention and I read this one a little slower than my normal reading pace but I found it so relaxing to read.

The movie is really good! Even my husband who has ADD/ADHD enjoyed it.
