Self Serving Drivel
- By BeatrixBalazar on 14-08-2020
Very interesting
Reviewed: 23-08-2020
Seems overly-sympathetic to the couple, but considering there's so much vitriol printed about them, I think it's a good piece to "balance the scales" of what's out there.

On 7 November 1974, a nanny named Sandra Rivett was bludgeoned to death in a Belgravia basement. A second woman, Veronica, Countess of Lucan, was also attacked.

Fascinating subject, but writing is very dull
Reviewed: 21-04-2020
Narrator was excellent, but it was a struggle to get through this book. I've always been interested in the subject, and I like how this book attempted to give a different perspective on the evidence. If only the writing was more interesting.

Story
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow 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.

Fascinating & Terrifying

Great story, so well written. Much respect for Ronan and what he went through to expose the truth.
My only criticism is Ronan's cheesy attempts at doing accents/imitating voices of the people he speaks with. His Australian accent, at one point, morphed into a New Zealand accent! LOL.

Sad story, with an uplifting message

Despite enduring the worst treatment, Michelle Knight's attitude and message is so inspiring. Shows that evil doesn't always triumph over good.

Story
From the outside, the prosecution's case looked bulletproof, but Marcia Clark knew better. Mountains of physical evidence connected O. J. Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Fascinating! Would like to hear the Unabridged version, as I didn't realise until half-way through that this is abridged.
