4.5 stars. I'm a blubbering mess after that!

A few parts showed promise, but this book in general was deeply boring, nonsensical, and faux-intellectual. I heard good things about it so I'm deeply disappointed.

I really enjoyed the first two pov's but then the story fell off for me. I felt like I didn't know Holly by the time it came back around to her and I found myself not really caring about the story. Any easy enough read but didn't pull me in like I had hoped.

Unintentionally, another book about atemporality.

3.5 stars. Good storytelling but I found that I was confused at some points and felt the book could have been a little shorter. Solid enjoyable read with more fantasy elements than expected.

More like a 2.5 star rating. The writing was excellent, but the story wasn't for me. Each section could have been a standalone book.

Not as good as Cloud Atlas but, honestly, what is? I was 70% of the way through before I figured out that the narrative structure echoes the content. I won't forget some of the characters and scenes from this book for a long time.

This book blew my mind in typical David Mitchell fashion. I had no idea what was going on until page 463, but I loved every second.

Turns out I am not a David Mitchell fan.

I liked this though it very much reminded me of a more restricted version of Cloud Atlas.
