Amazon Summary: In this instant New York Times bestselling
account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative
reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests
hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
Thoughts:
Obviously, this is not a light, fun, beach read. This book is heavy and
detailed and at times infuriating. I expected as much based on the subject
matter and thought I knew what I was getting into, but this story is crazier
than you can imagine.
The lengths that people and organizations went through to protect these predators, particularly Weinstein, are so extreme they don’t seem real.
Overall, I enjoyed this one, though it was hard for me to keep all the players and organizations straight throughout the book. I really admire Farrow for fighting as hard as he did to bring this story to the public. Even if you think you know everything about the Weinstein story, you should check this out. You won’t believe how incredible the cover-up was until you read this book.
However, I would caution anyone particularly sensitive to the issue of sexual assault against it. There are brief descriptions of assault that could be upsetting.
