Ronan Farrow: Catch and Kill (2019, Little, Brown and Company) 4 stars

very powerful book

5 stars

  • Ronan Farrow is the kid of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
  • He is an investigative journalist
  • The book is about the sexual abuse of powerful Hollywood producers like Harvey Weinstein
  • It is interesting because I also read the book of Ronan Farrows father (Woody Allen) who is accused of having sexually abused his own daughter
  • In Woody Allen's book he says he did never abuse her and that this is ridiculous, in this book Ronan seems to believe the side of his mother and sister more even though he was at the time too little so he didn't notice anything
  • He shows how powerful people like Harvey Weinstein, Trump and leading people at NBC and CBS used their power to sexually abuse young women
  • He also shows how these companies protected their leaders even though they destroyed lives
