challenging dark emotional informative slow-paced

4.25

An incredibly important, thorough, riveting book. Farrow displays a high standard for journalism that I think is not observed often anymore. Engaging writing style. Strong morals--Farrow doesn't just say that he wants the focus to be on exposing this horror in the interest of stopping it, he shows it.

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).
