4.5

As someone who did not know the details of the crimes this story covers. This was hard hitting and an intense coverage of the stories of the women who came forward to report this to this journalist. It's a book we all need to listen/read to ensure there is more and more coverage of this. To enact change.

im not sure there was any explicitly new info here but ronans voice is very strong so this was still a powerful read. the audiobook performance is a bit weird bc there are all these heavy and serious discussions but he drops his voice to be more feminine and it sounds a bit silly and mocking sometimes but i dont think it was intended to be

The pacing of this book made it engaging despite the gravity of the information being discussed. Farrow is straightforward with his explanation of his own history with the issue of sexual assault, growing up in the shadow of what Woody Allen, their father, did to his sister Dylan, and the media shit storm that ensued. Intwining his own story, growing as a person and apologizing to his sister for the role he played in the covering up of her own trauma, kept this story grounded and away from the sensationalized scandalous text it could have become. In 2024, it is especially interesting and upsetting to see the intentional disruption of American news news to destroy information and skew political outcomes as done by Israel's government-backed Black Cube.
