Summary

As Kinnall Darival writes "I" in his journal, he knows this pronoun is forbidden by his people of Manneran because it is too personal. But through the use of a powerful, mind-altering drug, he has learned to understand what people are really feeling and to speak for himself. Now he is compelled to share his message of liberation, regardless of the risk. This science fiction classic is a cult favorite from a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author.

Story of transformations

This theme where the main character hours through transformation should be a sub genre in itself. A balance between action and introspection, we are led through the steps the protagonist takes until he is transformed. We can see his flaws and that of society, how these sides conflict when he struggles with being true to the changes in himself and is condemned by society.

A Time of Changes

Wonderful book, wonderful narration.
Such an immersive experience and one didn't want it to end. Silverberg's prose and Bradbury's narration each deserves credit for bringing this strange world to life, with its strange rules and norms.
One finds that the strongest thing about this book was the character building and exploration. I ( I, I, I, I, I ) really loved the author's style - So simple but so effective; clear, concise, yet so eloquent and it makes such a strong impression on one, on me.
Something about the style reminded me of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi.
Bradbury's narration was one of the best I have encountered. You could almost feel his deep disgust and vitriol seeping out.
Obscene. Obscene.

Story OK, horrible protagonist

Self-centred aristocrat believes he has discovered the answer to society’s ills, and despite his new philosophy of love of which he appoints himself the prophet, he proceeds to proselytise without any regard for his fellow beings. This man is so irritating, without an ounce of self awareness (ironically), that I want ended up wishing the worst for him.

The narration was good.
