Wow. Nobody's Victim is part memoir, part exploration victim protection in the internet age, and part call to arms.

Seriously. there are few things more badass than the lines Goldberg opens her cease and desist letters with. "I represent [my client]. I'll be taking over negotiations from here. Negotiations just ended."

It is a difficult book to read. There are predators of every type - pedophiles, white supremacists, rapists. But there is an undercurrent of strength, of fighting for what's right and not giving up.

If you want an inside look at how sexual abuse is fought in court and the major impact of the internet on how predators function, this book is a must read.

After all, Goldberg is right: "We can battle with the system or fight to change the system... We are an army of warriors. The fight has just begun."

I really want to give this book five stars, but the persistent use of "psycho" and crazy" to describe terrible, violent men was a little hard to overlook as someone who is trying to work on improving my language so as not to further stigmatize the mentally ill. The book is a vitally important one, though, as Goldberg writes clearly and passionately about the current legal landscape that sets up women to be victimized and revictimized by cyberstalkers, trolls, and plain old jerks. The resource list in the back should prove invaluable to anyone who is experiencing these kinds of problems, too.
