Both novels are amazing. On the rape front, I give The Stars My Destination some points because the woman appears again later in the book and she's angry about it. The book starts by saying that it's an era of monsters, and I respect that Gully Foyle is an actual monster rather that cute just barely villainous fellow (with most of the crimes offstage) like Han Solo or Northwest Smith.

On the other hand, I consider "the mind of a little girl in the body of a beautiful woman" in The Demolished Man to be somewhat queasy-making.
