This book is unique in its genre. I understanded it only after finishing the last pages and I was blow-minded by the story, the protagonisti, the author and the strong message. 
 I moved between the life of six different people, walk inside different worlds and I didn't find it disturbing at all. Actually it was kinda of amazing and I think that if the book was narrated in another way, well Cloud Atals would have lost is sense. 
 Generally talking, I liked every pov but I can't deny my love for Somni and Zachry's povs. 
 Now comes the difficult part. As I hope you will under stand, Cloud Atlas isn't a conventional sci-fi. There are a lot of strange destiny's signs inside the book, but they all remain vague, like an olde and not well knw fairytales about life and death, about people and the way the are all connected, the way they will all be able to do something to change the world. 
 Mitchell left a lot of question about the connection between the characters and the sign they always carry on ther body. 
 Anyway, what I'm sure that can't be ignored is the strong message of the book - which I think is also really open to the reader interpretation - that most of the people take for granted. 
 I will cut this review in a really short way, since I don't feel that this book so many "but" and "if". I cant just reccomend it to you all, hoping that you will see what I saw and read what I read. 
 Every story narrared inside the pages is just a little part of human beings . It talks about a fight - cruel or not - for reach a higher level or a bigger form of freedom: life i san entire circle of trying to reach something better - for us or for the world. 
 Cloud Atals could have not been different from what it is. I was moved when I read the last words. This book gave me something beatiful, something valuable about the entire humanity. It gave me hope for tomorrow, a rare things during this days and years. 
 I think this book need a chance, the chance to be read until the end for reaching a new - but not so new in reality - view of the world.
