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

DID NOT FINISH

---

I gave this 200 pages but honestly, this is a how to manual on police incompetency and while I am interested in the trial itself and Manson, I couldn’t care less about how LAPD and the rest don’t understand how to do their job (nothing has changed since 1969 for them). I’m fully aware that this is THE account and Bugliosi is THE guy but you have to wade through the swamp to get the ogre and I’ll be honest, Shrek ain’t worth it
