dark informative tense medium-paced

Journalism with ironclad strength. Catch and Kill is vigorous in its dissection of sexual abuse committed by powerful perpetrators through structural, interpersonal, legal and cultural lenses. Farrow writes with utter principle, and survivors' stories are relayed with real care and conveys their immense courage. I must also say that he manages to pepper in funny lines about people's apprearances, some with a unique observationalist POV, and others with just a little necessary drop of shade!

im not sure there was any explicitly new info here but ronans voice is very strong so this was still a powerful read. the audiobook performance is a bit weird bc there are all these heavy and serious discussions but he drops his voice to be more feminine and it sounds a bit silly and mocking sometimes but i dont think it was intended to be

dark emotional informative mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.0

The pacing of this book made it engaging despite the gravity of the information being discussed. Farrow is straightforward with his explanation of his own history with the issue of sexual assault, growing up in the shadow of what Woody Allen, their father, did to his sister Dylan, and the media shit storm that ensued. Intwining his own story, growing as a person and apologizing to his sister for the role he played in the covering up of her own trauma, kept this story grounded and away from the sensationalized scandalous text it could have become. In 2024, it is especially interesting and upsetting to see the intentional disruption of American news news to destroy information and skew political outcomes as done by Israel's government-backed Black Cube.

I am not a fan of non-fiction, and I loved this book. Didn’t feel like a non-fiction book at all. It was a wild ride that left my jaw on the floor.
