    Take a trip to 1930s Berlin
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2014*

After sitting on my bookshelf at work for a number of months, I finally decided to crack "Mr. Norris Changes Trains" open. Having already read "A Single Man," I was fairly well acquainted with Isherwood's prose and style. The hook in the beginning is a little fleeting and this is why I had put off reading MNCT for so long - because I found the first couple of pages hard to engage with. However, after getting past the introductory hump, I found this book hard to put down. MNCT gives a curious account and some insight into pre-WWII Berlin, the life of some British ex-pats living there, the German Communist Party and the Nazis. In line with Isherwood's other works, descriptions are light and airy rather than overdone to the point that they become meaningless, and they allow the story to continue easily. After doing some research on this book, I found out that Isherwood was largely ashamed by MNCT later in life because "he had lied about himself through the characterization of the narrator and that he did not truly understand the suffering of the people he had depicted." While the author's later disillusionment with his own work might have some basis in reality, I found MNCT to be enjoyable nonetheless. Excellent read, highly recommended.

    Berlin before the war
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015*

The author tells a story from the beginning of the nineteen thirties and from a Berlin which has still not realized how dangerous the political situation is. The book is not political, but politics give never the less a background for the story. Social democrats, communists and nazis are still fighting, but ordinary people really don't care, at least not yet. But at the end of the story you understand what way things are going. A lot of different characters and their acting under these circumstances are described, objectively,completely without prejudice or other strong feelings. Altogether, the book gives a good impression of the atmosphere in Berlin before the great disaster.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Naughty but sad Berlin
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014*

I rate this book at medium level largely because I found it too slow moving. For me there was too much to and fro between the two main characters and not much progress in the story surrounding them. It was the sort of plot typical of a female writer. (No offence to the ladies intended). This is not surprising considering the  demeanour of the famously homosexual Isherwood.The prose was excellent and the book was beautifully written. It was easy to read.The sadism scenes were not very realistic and seemed to be there just to spice things up. Nevertheless I am sure they were important to Isherwood himself. They gave just a hint of the naughty Berlin at that time.In all it was a rather sad story.
