   Is Cloud Cuckoo Land worth reading?

   • For all you fans of Anthony Doerr and All the Light We Cannot See, rest assured, because Cloud Cuckoo Land delivers more of the same: endless, beautiful descriptions of mundane nonevents and no actual plot to be seen anywhere. I'm sitting here trying to think up some sentences to describe what this book is about, and I'm honestly at a loss.

   Is Cloud Cuckoo Land a true story?

   • It’s beautifully written with characters that felt real. I could easily envision each scene taking place. What binds it all together is a weird, historical Greek story called Cloud Cuckoo Land, written by Antonios Diogenes that envisions a shepherd trying to get to a mythical city in the sky.

   What is Cloud Cuckoo Land?

   • The concept is largely derived from David Mitchell's masterful Cloud Atlas: multiple characters across a wide range of space and time seem to be disconnected but actually have a thread of connection under the surface. In the case of Cloud Cuckoo Land, the connection is an ancient Greek text of the same name. What can I say?

   How many characters are in Cloud Cuckoo Land?

   • As I said, Cloud Cuckoo Land is told through the perspective of five characters: Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance. Out of all of these, my favorites were Omeir’s and Zeno’s storyline; I felt that they were the most engaging. I did, however, struggled with getting interested in Anna’s and Seymour’s storyline.
