I love Vonnegut, but Welcome to the Monkey House was too horrible. Sexual desire should not be criminalized, true, but humiliating and raping someone to "correct" that perception is somehow okay???
I'm very angry and disgusted.
1/5 stars

It's uncanny and a bit disturbing that the following story A Long Walk to Forever is a 5-star read for me. Very sweet and heartwarming."
