A Must Read for Fans of Jon Krakauer

If you've read any of Jon Kraukauer's books, then you already are familiar with his research style and accessibility when covering hot button topics. I really enjoyed this book as he tackles the sadly common problem of "he said/she said" when it comes to rape cases. From the victims all the way up the chain of command to law enforcement, government and university officials, I felt this book was thorough examination of showing all sides of the problems that the victims faced when reporting a rape, as well as the misguided beliefs and policies that develop, as displayed and enforced by those in positions of authority in Missoula during the time frame in this book. He does an excellent job of showing all sides, and points the way to the truth.

Published by Hugo Munday • December 30, 2015

This year was not short of standout literary highlights. One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century; To Kill a Mockingbird got "sequelled" with the acclaimed Go Set a Watchman, replete with a less prosaic Atticus Finch. Then, as the year progressed, two acclaimed authors reached out to us from beyond the grave, via their publishing houses. Dr. Seuss added to his body of two acclaimed authors reached out to us from beyond the grave, work when What Pet Should I Get, was unearthed in the office of the late author, complete with illustrations. Then along came The Girl in the Spider's Web, a further addition to the Millennium series which is a rare feat, since the author, Stieg Larsson died of a heart attack in 2004. This "quartet-maker" is very successfully channelled (or dare I say ghost written) by David Largercranz.
