I'm questioning myself giving this a rating but I couldn't put this down, it was so compelling.

I’ve always been drawn to crime and murderers (really, ask me anything) and I was very familiar with the Tate-LaBianca murders but reading this was such a trip... it added so many layers of something I knew fairly well, but in an entire new dimension.
I’ve never read.. what is this genre? Real crime? In fact I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that was not fiction. Despite of the crime/police report-like/legal aspects of it, I was as absorbed as with any other novel so kuddos to Bugliosi for creating such a thing.
The trial kept me so much on the edge, literally rolling my eyes and hating Kanarek, and despite of knowing the outcome of the trial I was all omggggg what’s gonna happen!?!? when they reached the verdict. Far from having a novel style, I went through it like fiction and despite I knew these people existed and still exists, I found myself reacting to “characters” and many events as if it was a novel.
I predict I’m gonna be totally book-hungover.
