by Vincent Bugliosi

This book took me almost a month to read. Not only because it's chonky but because the content is so effing dark. I had to put it to the side more than once because my brain was just like, "NOT TODAY." But I can't imagine a better researched nonfiction book. This was hands down the best true crime book I've read to date. The author, Vincent Bugliosi, was the lead prosecutor of Manson and the Manson "Family" so he has firsthand details that you just couldn't find anywhere else.
This story is a wild ride. I thought I knew about this case but reading the book, I realized I only knew like very basic surface level details. I couldn't believe some of the history behind Manson and his cult. Crazy, crazy shit!
