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

3.0

Meh. For as disturbing as the subject matter is, I found this audiobook pretty boring. Perhaps a new, younger narrator and throwing out the terribly cheesy horror music transitions would help. Maybe I've just been totally desensitized by all the horrible stuff on tv every day, but I just wasn't really phased by this book. It wasn't engaging and I really don't think I could have struggled through the print version. I did find the description of Manson's formative years interesting, but everything else lacked depth and felt like a reading a never-ending wikipedia article. Actually, some of the Wikipedia articles are more engaging than this..
