I was both excited and scared to be disappointed because i was blown away by Cloud Atlas before (and all his other books, esp. Ghostwritten). so i was wondering how he would stay close to the themes he always uses (reincarnation, different voices/different times) and not be identical to his other works. I can safely say this is not like the other books. (Though i enjoyed all the nods and mentions of his older works in this one!). I loved Holly. I loved the 'background/not so much backround later on-fantasy' element. I loved all the different views and the glimpses we got of Hollys life through different people. It was just a very enjoyable, memorable, awesome read and i will def. reread it.

DNF, got halfway through but it fucked me up a lot, mentally. I needed a couple of days of distance from the book, and maybe one day I'll return to it. The writing is engaging and interesting, and the story as well, but I don't know, the second Chapters main character and the third chapter in general messed me up.
