4.0

I wonder if today's audience is as shocked at this book as I was many years ago. Far worse things have happened since. Still, anyone who is interested in true crime should read this classic of the genre. (I wanted to say "enjoys true crime". That sounds too creepy.)

The reason I didn't give it five stars is that I felt Bugliosi painted himself in a very positive light, like he was the shining hero of the piece because he got a conviction. I guess I can't really fault a prosecuting attorney for excess ego.
