This is an incredibly informative and important book that i recommend everyone reads. Bates offers an accessible and gripping look into the world of misogyny and sexism, especially in online spaces, that shows all the ways in which the world still often times turns a blind eye or even unactively supports misogyny. 

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.

An incredibly important and relevant read. As part of a very online generation, I knew a little about the communities online that breed misogynistic views and opinions but I never knew how much of an impact it had on society and "offline" in the real world.

Honestly, this was a hard book to get through; not because it was poorly written or anything, but because of the subject matter. I definitely recommend going into it with quite a bit of resilience and maybe even have a second, more lighthearted book on the go at the same time to break up the heaviness.
I'm glad I read this book.
