challenging dark reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

It’s a real insight into how Charles Manson operated within ‘the family’ and how he brainwashed the girls (and some guys) into thinking he was some kind of messiah. The book would have benefited from a bit more editing to reduce some of the repetition but a very interesting read.
