Why people recommend it
Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow is a deeply reported investigative account detailing the efforts to uncover widespread sexual abuse and subsequent cover-ups in media and entertainment. MJ Franklin recommended the book on The Book Review as a standout example of immersive narrative non-fiction, while a host on Pod Save America recommended checking out the reporting regarding the inner workings of the State Department under Rex Tillerson. Jennifer Szalai also discussed the work on The Book Review, identifying it as a major talking point centered on the author's pursuit of Harvey Weinstein. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly cited the book multiple times, playing clips of Farrow discussing the corporate roadblocks and hard stops he faced while investigating allegations at NBC, using the text to critique network practices. Candace Owens mentioned the book on her show while discussing correspondence between Farrow and public figures, and Ronan Farrow himself briefly mentioned the 2019 publication on SmartLess. In contrast, the host of Timcast IRL offered a critique, referencing a critical assessment by journalist Ben Smith that questioned some of the book's reliance on unverified conspiracy claims. Despite differing views on specific details, the book remains a prominent reference point in discussions surrounding investigative journalism, institutional accountability, and the modern MeToo movement.
