I was born in 60’s and thought I knew a good deal about the family as an Irish Catholic but boy was I wrong ! I knew nothing. Of course we weren’t there and much is conjecture I was shocked only by the accusation that Joe had sexually molested his daughter Rosemary. That’s a bridge too far ! No evidence was presented and seems horribly unfair to accuse someone when they can’t defend themselves . That goes to most of the book. Was he an SOB ? ABSOLUTELY!
Wish author had left this out. The rest of book would have more credibility if she had left it out . No regrets buying this title .

Difficult to get invested in the characters . On the outset who is planning on rushing home from a trip to get married the next day ?? Who talks about his wife in the most glorious way if she were not obviously DEAD ?! Usually novels are better than movie. In this case movie much better.

Many stories within this novel. Huge fan of Conroy through these last few years . Late to read or listen to him but his stories are timeless .

I purchased this Audible in 2018 and I keep going back to it . I thought I was going to listen about spiritual help to help me cope with the sudden death of my son , age 25, by a freak accident. Book absolutely helped me spiritually cope but So Much More! Saying goodbye to a friendship, what I idealized my marriage would be , etc. I am now a huge fan!

Since we are the same age and also lived in Los Angeles I identified what it was like in the 80's and found her telling her story to be brave and one feels she definitely has evolved as a person into someone I hope she loves now. Something definitely fishy about her 3 daughters cutting her off AFTER she completed rehab. Certainly believe she omitted a lot which would explain many people in her life who let her down. She has a lot of that@!! She is rather self obsessed which is probably why she is so successful in the self obsessed culture of Hollywood. Period.

Stumbled upon this book after listening to a few of Catch and Kill podcasts . Glad I bought the Audible !!!!
Wow! The winding , neck breaking twists and somersaults of the Weinstein story had me eager to keep the listen on .
