The Screwfly Solution,a short science fiction story written by Alice Sheldon,but published under James Tiptree Jr. In my opinion the author of this book seems to really hate men, as the content of this book includes a lot of extreme sexual desire by The Screwfly Solution,a short science fiction story written by Alice Sheldon,but published under James Tiptree Jr. In my opinion the author of this book seems to really hate men, as the content of this book includes a lot of extreme sexual desire by men towards women. The story illustrates a lot of violence against women, which I found very disturbing.Throughout the story, men would rape and brutally kill women. Men in the story often talk about women as tools for their desires, and I found it annoying. Even though it was too exaggerated, I still believed that it still relates to the world we are living in.There are still a lot of crimes committed by men who take advantage of women and get out of it easily. I found it relatable and think it's lame. I was amazed that the book is written by a woman, and the fact that she is a psychologist surprises me. She wrote a lot of weird and disturbing things, which I found uncomfortable.I would give this book a rating of 4 stars. I found the plot of the story a bit confusing. I was lost when I first read the story; I didn't really know what was happening, but I kind of got everything together when I finished it. The content of the book is very sensitive, and I don't think it’s meant for everybody. The book includes a lot of violence towards women, which I found irritating.Overall, it's a good book to read, but I wouldn't read it again....more

In my opinion, this book is entertaining and enjoyable to read. The plot is fascinating and not too straightforward to predict. The story starts when the main character, Ed, finds the dead body of a complete stranger hanging, and he is the only one who can see the dead body. This beginning brought plenty of incidents that added interest to the story. Throughout the story, most of the people do not believe what Ed said and think he is crazy and that he should go see a doctor. I found this part a bit annoying. I felt like this short story was full of paranoia. There are also a lot of weird things happening, like sudden violence. This is giving me a sense of suspicion and a weird feeling. But, towards the end of the story, when the author added the hanging corpse, I found it really interesting and felt like I wanted to know more about the story. It caught my curiosity since I found it interesting and felt like I wanted to know more about the story. Since this is a short story, I think the author did a fantastic job using words to create a story. However, I felt that the author could have added more because the story moved a bit too quickly and I didn't get much of an explanation. Overall, I find it to be a great short story....more
