Before the last story in the collection I'd have said the book was a bit of a mixed bag, but enjoyable nonetheless. However, the last story is just horrible and angering. If you can't call a rape a rape then it shouldn't have been included. And there were a dozen much more clever ways the same outcome could have been engineered. A real shame.
