Escape from George Sanders Crazy Stories

What! "Escape from Spiderhead," was crazy! Crazy in the way that I couldn't stop reading it, much to my french teacher's dismay. It was an odd story, and some might call it futuristic pornography. While it was pretty explicit, I still thought it was a good read. This story went against what people believed in today, like how there shouldn't be human experimentation. I think this concept was shocking, and kept my eyes glued to the page. Also, what's with George Saunders and blunt trauma? First the guy in Victory Lap gets smashed by a geode, then Heather killed herself via blunt trauma to the face, and then Jeff killed himself with the corner of desk! Just thinking about what had to be going through his head makes me shiver. I think that Saunders' works are so intriguing because they are so shocking. While this kind of reading might not be for everyone, it was exciting for me.
