    A story to give you hope for the world.
  

*by R***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2021*

It only happens about once every 15 or 20 years: Poisonwood Bible. Lonesome Dove. Now Cloud Cuckoo Land: a book that I will talk about forever, a book that changed the way I think about the world.How much should I write? There is a magic in discovering it for yourself, how all these pieces fit together to answer the most essential question we are all facing in 2021:  is the world ending? And if so, how do we go on?Anthony Doerr addresses this question in no expected ways: by telling the story of Anna, an orphan living behind the walls of Constantinople under siege in 1409, who climbs a rock wall to discover hidden treasures; Omeir, a "demon" boy with a cleft palate, who is conscripted into the invading army because of the strength of his beloved oxen Tree and Moonlight; the story of Seymour in Idaho 2020, a budding environmental terrorist after the loss of his beloved great owl friend; and of Zeno, an 86 year old man hiding in the library as Seymour plants his bomb; and of Konstance, on a space station hundreds of years after the end of Earth, hurtling towards a planet that she will never live to see.And interwoven among them all, a myth of Aegon, the shepherd who longs for a better world, who sets off to find that elusive Eden in the sky, Cloud Cuckoo Land.It reads like three stories in one; the story of Constantinople, Omeir and Anna; of Idaho, Zeno and Seymour, and of the space station, with Konstance; and amidst them all, the myth of Aegon.There is writing so gorgeous that I had to stop and read it again; writing, especially, about the power of story itself, how stories can be magic, can save our lives, can give our lives meaning.Above all else, this is a story about our longing for a better world, what we owe to each other in this one, and whether it is possible -- even a little bit possible --- to hope, in the face of unimaginable hardship, that a better world might still exist, maybe even, possibly, not so far away as Cloud Cuckoo Land, not so far away as the clouds in the sky.

    It's a Hodgepodge!
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2021*

It's like Doerr was working on 4 different books and couldn't decide which one to publish, so he combined all into one and no editor had the courage to tell him to pick one or the other!  I suspect the good reviews and great sales are based on Doerr's last book but time and more user reviews will bring out the truth of this one.  It's a  mess!  That said, if you have the skill to use your Kindle's ability to examine chapters and jump from one to another, I think you'll enjoy reading the one book imbedded in the 4 that has some continuity, the one rooted in Constantinople.

    A beautifully well-written story about stories, and connections
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2021*

This long novel follows multiple characters from different time periods, ultimately weaving their experiences together in a story about the power of stories, and how interconnected we all are.  The book has about 622 pages in the digital version.Right from the start the book jumps around to different times and places, introducing you to the main characters.  It may be a little challenging to keep up with each of the different groups of characters at first, but stick with it (and take notes if you need to), because things become easier to follow as the book goes on.  It becomes clear that the common thread here is that all of the characters have become enthralled with the story of Aethon, a tale written down by an ancient Greek author named Diogenes.  Diogenes had himself found the story written down on tablets in a mysterious tomb, and it tells of a man that wished that he could be transformed into a bird in order to reach a mystical utopian city in the sky.Most of the action in the story takes place in three different time periods:  the siege of Constantinople in 1453, a library in Idaho in the present day, and aboard an interstellar ship in the future.  Doerr jumps back and forth, describing the conflicts and difficult situations that these characters face, while slowly fleshing out the similarities and describing how Aethon's story affects each of them.This is a fairly long book and it took a while to finish, but the pacing was so good that it never really felt boring.  I was slightly more invested in the story of Konstance and her futuristic journey than the other characters, but there was enough action and character development that kept me interested throughout the book.  The author makes some great points in this book, and connects everything together in a very clever and well written story.  I also like how the stories were wrapped up, although the way Konstance's part is concluded was a little less satisfying than the others for me.Overall, I enjoyed the book, and I feel like it is somewhat of a love letter to writers, readers, and librarians; and a excellent story about the power of stories.  We all might be more similar than we think after all.
