I would recommend this read for many folks because it uncovers so many important layers of this topic. It was difficult at times to continue, but with it to get the information.

This book is important, and I’m glad Jon Krakauer took it on as a topic because I think he probably convinced (especially male) readers who wouldn’t necessarily read a book about rape to read it. Unfortunate that that is how it works, but here we are.
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.
