the bar for men is so low that it’s basically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here they are, limbo dancing with the devil
this was a very powerful book and i admire everyone who risked so much to finally get this story out. i honestly went into this somewhat blind. I knew about weinstein and what he had done but not much more. I had to google ronan farrow and read up about the whole story a little more while reading this. there were also a Lot of names to keep track of that are probably very easy to follow when you live in the states and keep up with the media and networks. But for me as a non American it took me awhile to get the names straight. this was still a well written and engaging account of how the weinstein story got published and what that process revealed about the silence around powerful predators.
i also listened to the audiobook and you can tell that farrow has done podcasts before. there was music played at the end of every part and he had different voices for different people he quoted. overall felt like a true crime podcast at times and i mean that in a very positive way

all i want to say is that farrow expertly shows the reader his process of compiling very painful stories with so much care to keep what's important at the center, realistically showing the toll it took on him without censoring his missteps or centering himself in a story that isn't really his. i respect him deeply for this and i can't recommend this book highly enough if you want to know more about how weinstein was brought down and why it took so damn long.
