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.

What keeps the book from a solid 5, for me, is a layout choice; it could have been very helpful, I think, to have a list/glossary of the people in the book somewhere, perhaps before or after the bibliography. There's a lot of names, and I, personally, struggled to keep track of everyone (which also augments the repugnance of what is uncovered--so many people impacted, so many people complicit).

I was also amazed by the fact that the whole thing came about not because this one journalist was determined and incorruptible, but because many individuals chose to do the right thing at great personal risk. Not just the women who went public with their names and faces, but the PI who was hired to intimidate a journalist and chose not to, the NBC producer who was pressured and chose to carry on, the leak in the espionage agency who sent Farrow documents because she believed protecting rapists is wrong. Damn.
Re the accents Farrow does in the audiobook: do I wish he'd done them better? Yes. Did I find it impossible to look past? No.
