“[David] Mitchell is, clearly, a genius. He writes as though at the
helm of some perpetual dream machine, can evidently do anything,
and his ambition is written in magma across this novel’s every
page.”—The New York Times Book Review
“One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that
no doubt is—and should be—read by any student of contemporary
literature.”—Dave Eggers
“Wildly entertaining . . . a head rush, both action-packed and
chillingly ruminative.”—People
“The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a
puzzle-book, and yet—not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but
heartbreaking and passionate, too. I’ve never read anything quite
like it, and I’m grateful to have lived, for a while, in all its
many worlds.”—Michael Chabon
“Cloud Atlas ought to make [Mitchell] famous on both sides of the
Atlantic as a writer whose fearlessness is matched by his
talent.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Thrilling . . . One of the biggest joys in Cloud Atlas is watching
Mitchell sashay from genre to genre without a hitch in his dance
step.”—Boston Sunday Globe
“Grand and elaborate . . . [Mitchell] creates a world and language
at once foreign and strange, yet strikingly familiar and
intimate.”—Los Angeles Times
