"Tittle's book hits you hard …. " D. Sohi, Goodreads

"I read this book from cover to cover in one afternoon, pulled inexorably along by the readable style and careful pacing. I then spent a long time staring at a wall, recovering from the free-fall, hurtling journey, coming to the conclusion that this book must be read." Shefali Sequeira, 4w

"I absolutely enjoyed it. There were times when I was thinking 'There's no way this would happen,' but then I'd check the references at the back and sure enough there it was." Sarah Rean

"I read this book from cover to cover in one afternoon, pulled inexorably along by the readable style and careful pacing. I then spent a long time staring at a wall, recovering from the free-fall, hurtling journey, coming to the conclusion that this book must be read. Women will see their lives. Men will see their crimes. Whether they will learn from this mirror remains to be seen. Shefali Sequeira, 4w, about It Wasn't Enough
