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

5.0

🎧 Missoula by Jon Krakauer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a difficult, but incredibly important book. I would read Jon Krakauer’s grocery list. He has the ability to take seemingly dry, factual content and turn it into a riveting narrative. Missoula is no different. It’s an important book about how misunderstood acquaintance rape is, and how terribly the justice system lets rape victims down. It’s an infuriating story that had me yelling “Oh come on!” multiple times during my runs. Although much of the story is hard to stomach, as the assaults are fairly detailed, I found the story riveting. It definitely kept my mind occupied on my 
last long run on Sunday. We still have a long way to go as a society when it comes to sexual assault.
