This book didn’t change the way I think (as I agree with the book), but it is a well-researched, well-presented nonfiction book that is a good overview of the challenges of prosecuting acquaintance rape in the criminal justice system. It isn’t nearly as emotional to read as memoirs written by rape survivors (i.e. Know My Name), but in some ways it helps to take more of an outside view of the issue.
Honestly, I would highly encourage men to read this book and think critically about it.

The only thing I wished to see more of was synthesis and analysis of the facts by the author rather than just fairly rote repetition of the court transcripts.
I don't believe that it's Krakauer's job to propose solutions, per se, as this is a complex issue that is beyond the realm of one person. However I would have liked to see a little more analysis of how we got here and what the next steps could be.
This manuscript gets tiring and a bit tedious at times because of the subject matter and dry court transcripts, but it's well worth the read to learn more about an endemic issue of the American Life of young women.
