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

I am not a fan of non-fiction, and I loved this book. Didn’t feel like a non-fiction book at all. It was a wild ride that left my jaw on the floor.

An incredibly important, thorough, riveting book. Farrow displays a high standard for journalism that I think is not observed often anymore. Engaging writing style. Strong morals--Farrow doesn't just say that he wants the focus to be on exposing this horror in the interest of stopping it, he shows it.

What keeps the book from a solid 5, for me, is a layout choice; it could have been very helpful, I think, to have a list/glossary of the people in the book somewhere, perhaps before or after the bibliography. There's a lot of names, and I, personally, struggled to keep track of everyone (which also augments the repugnance of what is uncovered--so many people impacted, so many people complicit).

5 ⭐️ Such an important book, written by a very impressive human being. Everyone should read this. Ronan Farrow's performance in the audiobook is also amazing (and funny, at times, surprisingly). 

You think you know this story, and I assure you that you do not. 

What amazes the most about this book is that, yes, it is about Ronan Farrow's experiences, but somehow he's able to not make it about himself, but about the victims. He is able to factually give the results of his investigation, to recount things that happened from his point of view, to tell us the way he truly felt, and to relay the victims' stories with so much care and so much empathy.

Incredible read.
