Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi

5.0

---

I started this book knowing absolutely nothing about Charles Manson. As a fan of true crime, my dad brought this book to me and said, “This reminded me of you,” which sounds a little odd, but I’m super glad he did. This book caused me to have to write notes about who everyone mentioned was. In fact, I had to go back and forth so many times that it probably added another two weeks on my reading time. Well worth it though since it is such a bizarre, interesting, horror story. Well-written and crazy enough to keep you interested throughout the entire read- it is kind of a long one. I have read multiple books on Charles Manson and the Manson murders since reading this but Helter Skelter is for sure my favorite.
