I also have to be honest and say that part of the reason for the DNF is the narration. For the most part I didn't have any issues with the narration. However, as the tension ramped up in the second third of the book, the narrator started to lengthen some of the vowels and deepen her voice at the end of sentences. It feels like this was done for dramatic impact but all it did was annoy me.

Didn't like the tendency to make up situations and real people's thoughts for the sake of painting a picture. Also had a weird focus on describing how attractive the women were -- and continuously calling them girls no matter how old they were.

would recommend to those who have the stomach for it, regardless of whether they usually read non-fiction (I personally, do not!)

Like Moore's book 'The Woman They Could Not Silence', I appreciate learning at the end the laws added to the books, the why behind her decision to write the book, etc. I'll be following this up with the graphic novel.
"You fight and you fall and you get up and fight some more. But there will always come a day when you cannot fight another minute more.”
