challenging dark informative tense slow-paced

4.0

Honestly, this was a hard book to get through; not because it was poorly written or anything, but because of the subject matter. I definitely recommend going into it with quite a bit of resilience and maybe even have a second, more lighthearted book on the go at the same time to break up the heaviness.
I'm glad I read this book.

I would describe the experience of reading this book as personally harrowing, but quite necessary.

Very informative, well-structured look into the dark topic of male supremacist communities. It's a topic I had cursory knowledge of going in, and I recommend it to anyone looking to expand their understanding of the ways fringe sexist ideologies from the bowels of hate groups' forums ripple through society and affect all of us.

Undeniably disturbing and at times just downright hard to read but SO SO necessary and informative. I urge anyone who’s considering to reading this book to do so and for those who have already read it, I urge you to recommend it to others.
