Explicações
zottel: I loved all of Mitchell's other works, especially Ghostwritten and The Bone Clocks. Compared to those, Cloud Atlas really was a disappointment. Flat characters, boring stories, all in all far away from the quality of his other books. It's not really bad, but not very good, either—Mitchell can do MUCH better. If you haven't read a Mitchell before, don't choose this one as your first.
