dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

firstly i devoured this book in three sittings. i could not put it down. farrow writes like he's talking to you and i found it extremely easy to read in terms of sentence structure. the content was another matter entirely.

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.

massivepizzacrust's review against another edition

hopeful informative tense fast-paced

5.0

I think I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said by others. This book is insane and while I was aware of the fallout of this painstaking research broadly, I didn't realize how far-reaching the efforts to cover it were. Obviously, it's disgusting but not particularly surprising that major news outlets have huge harassment issues, as do many male-dominated industries. I'm sure you could uncover very similar stories in tech or finance. 
But I think one of the best points the book makes is the effect this harassment and the relationships between news execs and other influential figures have on reporting. How can we trust that news outlets are being honest when they're in semi-blackmail relationships with the subjects of their reporting and afraid that any reporting on bad behavior could just as easily be turned on them? I'm very grateful for the ridiculous bravery shown by all the sources who were willing to endure continued harassment and legal threats to tell everyone what happened.
