Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi
OK, I think I'm done with this one at 50%.
I haven't picked it up in 3 weeks, and I haven't missed it.
Let me be clear: there is nothing particularly wrong with the book itself. In fact, it's very detailed and a must-read for anyone interested in the Manson Murders. The problem I have is that by this point I've read/watched/listened to so many things on the subject that very little of this is new information to me. So, as you can imagine, continuing to read this lengthy book just doesn't make a lot of sense in my case. I think if the author's personality really came through the writing, or if the storytelling itself was more engaging—I would have continued reading. However, like with most true crime non-fiction, the writing is definitely on the dry side. No rating, since I'm leave quite a bit of this unread.
