The book I chose for this project was Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I am going to talk about the first three sections not the whole book, since it is a long book and it jumps around so much it would take a lot longer to talk about. This book is a hybrid of fiction and drama. The first section of the book is “The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing” it is a journal written in the mid 1800s by a sailor stuck on an island while the ship he was on gets repaired.

It seems like they were in a city in the late 1970s or early 1980s, they didn’t specify the year. The tone seems to change a lot here, but most of the time it’s a serious tone because part of the story there is a murder involved. The conflict was HYDRA against Lusia and Sixsmith, the climax was Lusia falling off the bridge and there is no falling action. The narrator was reliable because we got several sides of the story from different characters.
Cloud Atlas was a really good read. I recommend this book if you want something different. This was a very interesting book because this book is not all one story, it’s several stories that seem to have no connection and then they do connect. This book was a little crazy and somewhat hard to read at times, but it was enjoyable. There is a lot more to this book than these three sections and it is definitely worth
