I really enjoyed learning so much from this book. I think the author did a great job of researching and providing examples for all of her points. However I can’t help but think this could’ve been either just a little shorter or that it felt like a long news article. I started to get bored towards the end. 

The subject matter is important, and I valued her opinions and the information she presented. Would recommend, but I did have to speed it up to 1.25 speed.

Interesting perspective on the audience's morality in consuming terrible artists' work but tangents into the author's autobiography kind of left me uninterested.

The Lolita chapters and the ending essays about personal responsibility in late stage capitalism leaving little to no route for ethical consumption were excellent.

Just wish there was more done to examine the fallout of canceling or if anything can really be done, but I guess that's more up to the reader to decide.

Great read overall! Made my noggin thinky

Part memoir, part "Q & A". I learned more than I wanted to about a few famous people. This book made me think, made me question, what is acceptable and what isn't,  and why is that? It made me question the material vs the artist and made me wonder if I can separate them and if it's ethical to do so. Loved it. 4 stars because the memoir part just wasn't for me and while it connected to the point of the book it just seemed unnecessary, I think the purpose was to show that we are all connected to some degree of some depravity.
