A New York Times Editors' Choice&ldquo;This devastating memoir unflinchingly recounts Murad&rsquo;s experiences and questions the complicity of witnesses who acquiesced in the suffering of others.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker"Her book is sobering&mdash;and an inspiration."&#160;&mdash;People&ldquo;A harrowing memoir. . . . Intricate in historical context. . . . The Last Girl leaves readers with urgent, incendiary questions.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Murad gives us a window on the atrocities that destroyed her family and nearly wiped out her vulnerable community. This is a courageous memoir that serves as an important step toward holding to account those who committed horrific crimes.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;This is likely the most inspiring feminist memoir out this year.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Bustle&ldquo;Nadia Murad's courageous account is horrific and essential reading. . . . Anyone who wants to understand the so-called Islamic State should read The Last Girl.&rdquo; &mdash;The Economist"Fascinating."&#160;&mdash;Vulture &ldquo;Surpassingly valuable. . . . With her new book, The Last Girl, Nadia Murad has assumed the stature of an Elie Wiesel for her people. . . . As much as it is an account of the Yazidi genocide, the book is also a loving ode to a way of life that has now been all but obliterated.&rdquo; &mdash;Jewish Journal&ldquo;A harrowing and brave book, a testament to human resilience.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Progressive"A devastating yet ultimately inspiring memoir that doubles as an urgent call to action.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus&ldquo;Brilliant and intense. . . . a clear-eyed account of ISIS&rsquo;s cruelty.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;Powerful. . . .

&ldquo;A fascinating, generous book with portraits and detail that float by in bursts of color . . . As with [the band&rsquo;s] records, the book&rsquo;s structure is a lyrical three-man weave. . . . Diamond&rsquo;s voice is lapidary, droll. Horovitz comes on like a borscht belt comedian, but beneath that he is urgent, incredulous, kind of vulnerable. . . . Friendship is the book&rsquo;s subject as much as music, fame and New York.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Wild, moving . . . resembles a Beastie Boys LP in its wild variety of styles.&rdquo;&mdash;Rolling Stone&#160; &ldquo;As nutty, irreverent, and fun as you think it would be.&rdquo;&mdash;Vogue &ldquo;As freewheeling and funny as their albums . . . a beautifully messy (and large) talisman containing within it many of the great joys and surprises that come with listening to the Beastie Boys&rdquo;&mdash;The AV Club &ldquo;Horovitz and Diamond share sincere moments of reflection about their music, their friendship and the guy who taught them to fix radiators, to care about human rights, to own up to mistakes and to grow up.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR, Morning Edition &ldquo;Teeming with tour anecdotes, personal letters, playlists, comics and photographs&mdash;[Beastie Boys Book] unspools the crew&rsquo;s thirty-year run in the music industry and is appropriately massive.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times &ldquo;Diamond and Horovitz alternate as narrators, and their prose is as infectious as their music. Other contributors chime in with their own idiosyncratic takes. Roy Choi offers a mini cookbook of Beastie-themed dishes. Amy Poehler delves into the videography of the group. Luc Sante takes the reader on a musical tour of New York City streets in the early 1980s. The result is a book Beastie Boys fans will clamor for and a must-read for music enthusiasts.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;This entertaining look at Beastie Boys history is as innovative and raucous as the band&rsquo;s music.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&ldquo;Beastie Boys fans will devour this book, as will anyone interested in the early days of hip-hop, the art/music/street life of New York City in the 1980s, and the alternative-nation zeitgeist of the &rsquo;90s.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews
