Rating this book doesn't sit exactly right with me but oh well. This was a shocking read, it was fascinating to see the dirt that is happening behind Hollywood and the cameras and how many victims there are out there. I feel like though it would make such an excellent movie/documentary, while it was kind of tiring as a book. However that also shows the complexity of this case and how difficult it was to handle.

I have already gotten the gist of how awful HW is from news reports years ago, as well as the movie adaptation of this book. But I was disappointed with what I learned about Gloria Allred and her work history that was mentioned here.

The narration amazingly sounds like Carey Mulligan, who played the role of Megan Twohey in the movie.
