5.0
This is a rather heavy book, with discussions around sexual assault, murder and harassment, but I think it’s incredibly important to read if you feel you can handle those topics. The author uses a mixture of her own experiences, interviews with other victims, academics and activists, and her own research into the world of online misogyny to create a concise discussion about sexism and what the world can do to tackle it.

notthatcosta's review against another edition
2.5
Most of the chapters feel unnecessarily padded out, often with repetition of previous points made that don't serve to create a cohesive narrative thread. Even in more successful chapters like 'Men Who Don't Know They Hate Women', half way through it veers off into a tangent about the 2016 election.
I understand that the topic at hand is very broad, complex and wide reaching, but the lack of focus makes it frustrating to read beyond the frustrating subject matter. With better and tighter editing I think this could have been a great book, but it ends up feeling like an unfocussed and cluttered collection of ideas and case studies with some paraphrased 4Chan posts sprinkled in.
I probably would have preferred it if the book just centred on what Laura Bates heard during her school visits and talks, rather than the need to try and summarise what she read on manosphere forums.
