Went to B&N and decided to get some books before I go on a book buying ban for the rest of the year! 😋

This is a tough read, but worth it. I am enraged, disgusted, and heartbroken.

I knew this would be a tough read, but I underestimated how tough. I am ENRAGED. Unless it is particularly gruesome I can handle the murders and killers in those true crime books. I can even handle it when the result isn‘t what i wanted. But at only 30% in I am already livid over how things have happened (and how society treats rape victims in general).

Jas16 I had the same reaction to this one. It was an infuriating read. 2y
Kimberlone I‘ve read most of Krakauer‘s books but I‘ve been holding off on this one for those exact reasons 2y

Difficult book on an important topic that needs even more light. Krakauer presents the stories of a few different rape victims with particular focus on one trial and one sentencing hearing for a plea bargain. Listening to the attorneys and various testimony was infuriating at times, but the audiobook format really worked for me. With his ability to empathize with subjects, Krakauer tells another highly engaging story.

Listening to the trial of Jordan Johnson, where Pabst served as his defense attorney. What a piece of work. Decided to pause the audiobook and look up where Kirsten Pabst is now. She‘s still the Missoula County Attorney🤮 I guess selling out rape victims because poor football players were having their reputations damaged really paid off for her career.

Jas16 I was horrified by her when I read this too. 3y
DogMomIrene @Jas16 I saw an article from the Missoulian about how she tried to delay the publishing of this book. The newspaper uses a paywall so I‘m going to keep searching out those details. 3y

Started this audiobook and it‘s brutal. Also highly engaging. Normally I only listen to audiobooks when I‘m driving, but I‘ve been finding projects all day to keep listening. Taking a break now…

Suet624 Awful. 3y
DogMomIrene @Suet624 Yes. The accounts of the rapes are worse, and then there‘s the victim blaming. I‘ve had this on my TBR for a while and I finally feel like I can listen carefully. 3y
