In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Better in print, perhaps

This book is both entertaining and deeply important. I am i pressed with Farrow’s perseverance, honesty and articulate storytelling. His hand in bringing down a system that abused and silenced women for decades should never be forgotten.
BUT- I wish I had read this in print instead of listening to the audiobook. I found Farrow’s impressions and accents deeply distracting and at times, ridiculous. I am baffled that a producer would sign off on this bizarre approach. I wonder how some of the brave interview subjects feel about his impressions of their voices??

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Trevor Noah utterly charmed me with his story, his humor and his intellect. Inspiring and entertaining, this book is deeply informative and relevant today. Cannot recommend enough.
