1.25

This book had some interesting cases, but overall the author thought A LOT of himself and it showed. I have literally no words for the Afterword, without it the book would have probably been a 2.25. The concept of this book was fascinating but ultimately it was just poorly executed. All I can say is I would never read something written by this author again.

i tabbed the shit out of this.

it was a very accessible non-fiction with a subject that was actually quite interesting. i liked the cases that they brought out. obviously most of the come from twitter. however, jon ronson brought in the relevance of sex-workers, criminals and our culture plays into public shaming which i found really interesting. i think its refreshing to hear something that is more nuanced? it was a neutral perspective from someone who uses social media and has experience with being publicly shamed. 

i did find the beginning a little hard to get into and the first case study he brings up of the guy who plagiarized quotes was uninteresting to me and i think wasn't the most gripping opening to a book. it was almost like a digression but at the beginning, if that makes sense. 

it's not too in your face academic whilst remaining informative.
