Rezension zu „Cloud Atlas, Film Tie-In “
A remarkable book ... there won't be a bigger, bolder novel this year. -- Guardian An impeccable dance of genres ... an elegiac, radiant festival of prescience, meditation and entertainment. -- The Times His wildest ride yet ... a singular achievement, from an author of extraordinary ambition and skill -- Matt Thorne, Independent on Sunday David Mitchell entices his readers onto a rollercoaster, and at first they wonder if they want to get off. Then - at least in my case - they can't bear the journey to end. -- AS Byatt, Guardian Mitchell's storytelling in CLOUD ATLAS is of the best. I was, appropriately, captivated. -- Lawrence Norfolk, Independent The best novel of the year so far ... a thrilling ride of a story -- Philip Hensher, Summer Reading, Observer Impeccably structured novel of ideas in many voices by a talent to watch. -- Literary Editor's Best Books, Observer
