Best 21st century novel I've read. Hugely ambitious, tracing history of civilization well into the future.

I don't know how David Mitchell imagined and wrote this book-- it's beautiful, captivating, thrilling in both story and language. My favorite chapters are around the character of Sonmi451 (the sci-fi chapters). The book is existential and soulful at the same time.

The most imaginative work of literary fiction of the last decade. Beautifully rendered, perfectly structured, always thought provoking.

Sublime.

brilliant but accessible post-modern novel. British writer. Each chapter is a different genre, including history, travel, detective, fantasy and sci-fi, but they all interconnect at the end.

Anytime someone asks for a book recommendation I say Cloud Atlas. All the ones who read it thanked me.
