Welcome to Litsy!

Finally finished this!
A dense, tough, well researched read. Sometimes it's a bit of „He emailed person 1, person 1 then told person 2, person 2 forwarded that to person 3“... and such, but all the dry facts and names are important for the chain of evidence Dan Davies built up.
Over 500 pages of all kinds of emotional and sexual abuse... All the more important is that with this book, among others, the truth is finally brought out into the light.

Have been trudging my way through this in what feels like ages (10 days in real life or so). And still I have about 200 pages left.
Having to read hundreds of pages through an account of all kinds of abuse, it's hard.

Sorry about the bad photo...my skills need some work! 😂Since I couldn't find this true crime book anywhere reasonable I broke down and got it for my Kindle! (I have been using my kindle more since I got a new cord for it.) This book, about the Jimmy Savile case, is excellent and does not disappoint. The structure is fascinating and the story is heartbreaking, but a powerful one for this particular moment wrt truth, celebrity, and powerful men.

Dispassionate retelling of the frightful life of Jimmy Savile which thankfully avoids an excess of prurient detail while making it abundantly clear just what a monster he was.
