Book Reviews of Welcome to the Monkey House
Book Review: A collection of short stories from various sources
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a collection of 25 short stories. They are simple but you can if you want read great depth in them. These stories would make good starters for a reading group or circle. They are professional but not extraordinary or unique.
"The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every way."
I bought this book for one story in particular "Harrison Bergeron"; I bought the movie with Sean Astin and thought even if the story was fleshed out to be more like "This Perfect Day". So I thought it would be time to read the story. Unfortunately the short story can not hold a candle to the movie. It never really gets off the ground and comes to a curt conclusion never resolving the conflict.
