clarice_flora's review against another edition

challenging dark informative fast-paced

4.5

Although of course impossible to call an enjoyable read, this book was perfectly approached, written and handled, despite the harrowing horrific nature of its content. A book that despite all, had a hopeful and powerful air to survivorship, as well as being informative, to the point and unapologetic. A hard read, but worth every word.

emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

A good overview of the Nassar scandal. My main complaint is that this seemed like the authors were just regurgitating information already put out by others; I didn’t feel that they did much investigating themselves.
