dark informative tense medium-paced

4.75

Journalism with ironclad strength. Catch and Kill is vigorous in its dissection of sexual abuse committed by powerful perpetrators through structural, interpersonal, legal and cultural lenses. Farrow writes with utter principle, and survivors' stories are relayed with real care and conveys their immense courage. I must also say that he manages to pepper in funny lines about people's apprearances, some with a unique observationalist POV, and others with just a little necessary drop of shade!

As someone who did not know the details of the crimes this story covers. This was hard hitting and an intense coverage of the stories of the women who came forward to report this to this journalist. It's a book we all need to listen/read to ensure there is more and more coverage of this. To enact change.

Ronan is incredibly talented in storytelling and also weighing different perspectives. I learned so much, and he captured the horrors so well, incredibly depressing but outlines a bit of a triumph of empowering women.
