By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks - Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize A postmodern visionary and one of the leading voices in twenty-first-century fiction, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian love of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending, philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco, Haruki Murakami, and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction as profound as it is playful. In this groundbreaking novel, an influential favorite among a new generation of writers, Mitchell explores with daring artistry fundamental questions of reality and identity. Cloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Along the way, Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. . . . Abruptly, the action jumps to Belgium in 1931, where Robert Frobisher, a disinherited bisexual composer, contrives his way into the household of an infirm maestro who has a beguiling wife and a nubile daughter. . . . From there we jump to the West Coast in the 1970s and a troubled reporter named Luisa Rey, who stumbles upon a web of corporate greed and murder that threatens to claim her life. . . . And onward, with dazzling virtuosity, to an inglorious present-day England; to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok; and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history. But the story doesn't end even there. The narrative then boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky. As wild as a videogame, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon. Praise for Cloud Atlas " David] Mitchell is, clearly, a genius. He writes as though at the helm of some perpetual dream machine, can evidently do anything, and his ambition is written in magma across this novel's every page."--The New York Times Book Review "One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt is--and should be--read by any student of contemporary literature."--Dave Eggers "Wildly entertaining . . . a head rush, both action-packed and chillingly ruminative."--People "The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a puzzle-book, and yet--not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but heartbreaking and passionate, too. I've never read anything quite like it, and I'm grateful to have lived, for a while, in all its many worlds."--Michael Chabon "Cloud Atlas ought to make Mitchell] famous on both sides of the Atlantic as a writer whose fearlessness is matched by his talent."--The Washington Post Book World "Thrilling . . . One of the biggest joys in Cloud Atlas is watching Mitchell sashay from genre to genre without a hitch in his dance step."--Boston Sunday Globe "Grand and elaborate . . . Mitchell] creates a world and language at once foreign and strange, yet strikingly familiar and intimate."--Los Angeles TimesBinding Type: Hardcover

More expensive and not as sweet as regular Metamucil, but no aspartame
I switched to the Stevia variant of Metamucil to cut down my daily intake of aspartame sweetener. The taste definitely isn’t as sweet and invariably some might not like that. I thought the same initially, but after a few dosages of the less-sweet Stevia Meta I’m now use to the taste. For me—less aspartame in my diet is more important than having an overly sweet product. The product functions the same way and is very effective in keeping you regular and the additional fiber in your diet is very important. Try it, but keep in mind it may take some time getting use to the less sweet flavor.

Incredible…
This stuff is incredible. I used to take a psyllium supplement semi regularly but would always stop after a week or so of getting tired of it. This stevia version of Metamucil is better than any fiber I’ve ever taken. Tastes great, dissolves immediately, works incredibly well, and doesn’t get old or repetitive like other versions. Flavorful but not overly sweet. It’s amazing what it does to your poops too. Unbelievable.

Not real sweet, but no sugar
I have been taking Metamucil with real sugar regularly for 20+ years. I became concerned about the amount of sugar I was consuming daily and cannot tolerate aspartame. So, I jumped to buy this when I saw Stevia. I quickly noticed that this version is not sweet. It’s sort of bitter. Also, the texture is different due to not having sugar granules mixed in. It also converts to a gel like texture quicker. I later noticed you use less of this product per serving than the one with sugar (read the label!). I have found the best way to take this is to very quickly (seconds) consume the serving after adding water. Don’t wait too long. I down it like taking a shot out of a shot glass followed quickly by a glass of water. After a while, I got used to the flavor. Overall, I am pleased I am consuming much less sugar and really don’t notice the change anymore.

This product is very important to your well being.
The Metamucil is everything I hoped for. If you’re concerned about your sugar intake then I suggest the one with Stevia. Yes the one with natural sugar tastes the best but once you graduate to 3 times a day that’s a lot of sugar. I would follow the directions. Start with once a day then after 3 or 4 days you’ll find twice a day works nice. I’m on my 4th week so a few days ago I started 3 times. I’m very pleased with the way I feel. Think about it, we take care of our cars better than ourselves sometimes. It’s so important to take care of your digestive system. Have a good day. 😁

Great flavor, less calories than real sugar, thickens very quickly.
I usually get the real sugar version of this rather than this one with Stevia. I have it every morning just to supplement my diet with fiber and the version with stevia is only 30 calories vs 80 for the one with real sugar. I mix it with unflavored protein powder in a shaker cup and this one thickens very quickly. So quickly that I add water after every quarter of the container that I drink and re-shake. Otherwise it gets so think it won’t even come out by the time I’m halfway through. Once I figured that out it’s no big deal but makes it so that I won’t take it in the car to drink on the go.
