His first book, but the second that I've read (after Cloud Atlas, which I loved).
Nine chapters about different people across space and time, all subtly connected. Since each chapter appeared to be a story in it's own right I think it fair to say that I enjoyed some more than others; just as I enjoyed some characters more than others.
In a way some of the stories I would like to have seen expanded slightly; the woman in the tea shack on the Japanese hillside, and the final futuristic chapter with the night-time DJ.
If you liked Cloud Atlas I can be pretty sure you'll like this book, but I still think Cloud Atlas was a better read in totality.
