jasminekrank 's review for:
Changing Planes
by Ursula K. Le Guin
I had no previously conceived notions of what this book was, and I was pleasantly surprised to just find story after story of a new world with its own idiosyncrasies. The author does an excellent job imagining new worlds that have enough in common with reality that the reader has some frame of reference to begin with, but they are all different in their own ways that it really draws the reader into imagining what life for the reader would be if on those planes and not their own.
The only reason I did not give it five stars is the inconsistency with the narrator. At times the narrator assumes the reader is coming from the same plane as he or she is, and at other times the narrator uses the phrase "my plane" instead of "our plane", which implies that he or she is from another plane. Perhaps I'm missing a greater or deeper meaning to that, but it threw me off a few times while reading.
