I'm still thinking about this book 10 months later, but my relationship to it is complicated. Krakauer's approach to describing the women's stories worked for me, and was very affecting, but I was troubled by the ways in which the book seemed to fully buy into the legal system as a solution -- as in, we just need to make the legal system listen to women so we can be better at getting harsher sentences for perpetrators.
