Catch and Kill

A very excellent book. I didn't know who Ronan Farrow was, and read the first quarter of the book thinking that she was a woman. It turns out he isn't. Spoiler.

Anyway, this is a fascinating book. I was expecting it to be a difficult read, but it was much less about the crimes of Weinstein and much more about the reporting of them, and the attempts to silence him.

This is a great piece of journalism, and deservedly won accolades. You wonder how much of the story was able to be reported because if who Farrow was, rather than his journalistic skills - but he seems quite open about that, as well as the difficulties he had in getting the story out there.

A very good read, and recommended.

This is a remarkable exposé that reads like a thriller. It only took me so long to read it because of my own experiences with sexual assault and gaslighting. My single frustration with the material was that with such a stultifying long list of characters it was challenging for me to keep track of who was doing what. But in the end, that didn't matter overmuch.
