But I think one of the best points the book makes is the effect this harassment and the relationships between news execs and other influential figures have on reporting. How can we trust that news outlets are being honest when they're in semi-blackmail relationships with the subjects of their reporting and afraid that any reporting on bad behavior could just as easily be turned on them? I'm very grateful for the ridiculous bravery shown by all the sources who were willing to endure continued harassment and legal threats to tell everyone what happened.

You think you know this story, and I assure you that you do not.
What amazes the most about this book is that, yes, it is about Ronan Farrow's experiences, but somehow he's able to not make it about himself, but about the victims. He is able to factually give the results of his investigation, to recount things that happened from his point of view, to tell us the way he truly felt, and to relay the victims' stories with so much care and so much empathy.
Incredible read.

There are innumerable players involved in these events, and I found it difficult to keep track of everyone's roles. I'm sure this is at least in part by design, if not by the author than by the institutions themselves. I would have benefitted from an organizational chart in many cases. The fragmented telling of this story, while more digestible in its format (and perhaps an indication of the varied articles, segments, and posts that started it all), felt like a choice rather than a necessity. There were times I wished these pieces were brought together differently for a more cohesive work. In terms of the structure, there were times timeline was favoured over subject matter, though this was inconsistent. It was a story in 59 parts. Sorry, 5 parts, 59 chapters, and subdivided further from there. Digestible, mentally helpful, a bit unearned.
All in all, this is an important read. Farrow wasn't afraid to drive the point home in many passages in a way that felt like some small justice in itself during such reeling events. The spark of resistance brought some comfort. He called it like it was in a way that is reminiscent of Chanel Miller. Calling a spade a spade, calling people on their bullshit, staring the message between the lines in the eyes, and yelling it back at them. Engraving it on the record.
It feels good knowing there's someone like Ronan Farrow helping to bear the weight of this crushing patriarchy for us all.
