A gripping read. Very few journalists can claim to have changed the world, but at 2.05pm on Thursday 5 October 2017, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey did just that. Writing in the third person, "Jodi" and "Megan" become characters in their drama, the narrative speeding towards the moment when the story that Weinstein can't stop detonates with shattering force. She Said is a clear-eyed account of the journalistic endeavour required to tie down a story of such significance. Feels like a Hollywood film in the making ***** (Daily Telegraph)
She Said is a fascinating tale of investigative journalism in action, the ultimate story-behind-the-story filled with so many twists and obstacles that it often reads like a Hollywood screenplay (Evening Standard)
An inside look at the story that brought down Harvey Weinstein. She Said stitches together remarkable elements previously unknown to the public. More than anything, She Said depicts the incremental work of pulling at long neglected threads as well as the institutional heft and individual bravery required to hold those abuses to account (Guardian)
She Said is not a lurid celebrity exposé, nor even a dark farce, but a cool, just-the-facts-ma'am account of how Kantor and Twohey uncovered the horror story that ignited the MeToo movement. It's a sober, engrossing ode to the First Amendment. The value of She Said lies not only in what it tells us about how victims of sexual harassment are muzzled and mocked, but also in what we learn about the steady, clear-sighted, occasionally frightening, often quite thankless work involved in investigative reporting (The Times)
Brilliant and deeply satisfying
