What I found most important about the memoir of their investigation was what happened after the accusations had been made. Kantor and Twohey explored how the very act of coming forward changed the accusers’ lives, and changed what was happening across the US in response.
Excelling investigative reporting, this generation’s All the President’s Men.

jourdanicus's review against another edition
I was also irritated by the unacknowledged privilege present in the narrative... it is so, so rare for sexual assault survivors to ever see the perpetrators of the assault come to justice, much less have the chance to fly on a private jet to travel to one's hearing against one's abuser... The inclusion of some details like that without examining how they could be different from other victims'/survivors' experiences really didn't sit well with me.
It's also ultimately frustrating to know that no matter how much privilege one has, there's no guarantee of accountability or justice in the case of sexual violence. That's not the authors' fault obviously. However, overall I did feel that in being caught up in the exhilaration of breaking such an important story, a lot of nuance was lost in regards to how that story compares to the "average" experience of sexual violence.
