I don't often read real life crime books but I never knew much about Manson and for some reason this book has been calling to me.

The story is compelling and I enjoyed the structure of the recounting of the trial. My complaint is that Bugliosi goes on too long in certain sections, perhaps cursed by a lawyer's need for thoroughness. Other than that, I haven't been this engrossed in a book in some time.
