Cloud Atlas is

a: A "Why are we here-What is the point-We go round and round in circles and for what-We'll all die in the end anyway" existentialist waste of time.

or

b: A "We can be better-The truth shall set you free-One life becomes ten becomes many-Hope lives eternal" idealistic waste of too many pages.

What it is not, is a love story; so don't buy into the movie's Halle Berry/ Tom Hanks bull.

Read for: excellent characterisation, quotable quotes, and blue-balled suspense that doesn't go away.
