Wow, a really good read by Ronan Farrow an investigative reporter that helped blow open the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal that had been going on for years. The collateral cases of Matt Lauer and other NBC executives are also brought out. I started reading this at the beginning of the Donald Trump trial where David Pecker was testifying and Pecker's role in this book too. The details in the book and the amount of people and sources he had along with then the trouble of getting NBC to go forward with it & having to shift over to The New Yorker to get it published. Just an amazing read and while Ronan wrote it so is from his side, he really seems to be a hero. This was a story that many knew about but no one would touch because of NDAs and just intimidation from Weinstein and his lawyers. One of the best that I have read this year.
There are 16 WL for this book on PBS--this is the large print copy. Not sure if I will mail off or maybe instead loan out to friends to read first.
