Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by Jon Krakauer

3.0

(Listened to the audiobook version) - Krakauer's exposé of the campus rape 'epidemic' is important and timely, and the reminder of how adversarial our justice system has become is a fair judgement. If you pick this book up, don't expect an objective view though-- you'll find yourself both agreeing with him and disagreeing with him in the course of the text. My biggest complaint is how tedious and redundant the verbatim court transcripts, reports, and interviews became. That's the job of the author-- to turn the majority of all that research into an engaging narrative rather than chapter upon chapter of quoted material so that we aren't bored to tears.
