Cloud Cuckoo Land

The story really starts 500 pages in. The relevant characters interact and the switch of perspective is great. Before that, it is everything that is hot in literature right now. Multiple storylines over thousands of years. You could put a family drama mystery into the story and it would be everything that has 5 stars right now. If you like that, this is your book.

Overall I liked this book, but I thought it was boring. I don???t regret the time I spent reading this book, but I am also glad that I skipped whole paragraphs and ends of pages. This book is an experience, but I wouldn???t recommend it to my friends.

It took incredible writing skill and hubris to weave the four short stories together with the thinnest of threads. Everyone is dumped out of their descriptive quagmires into their respective endings without any semblance of conclusions. I didn???t learn anything because there was nothing at stake. One character completely changed where she was in the universe and nothing happened after that.

Thanks for reading
