It is understandable why this book is one of the best selling true crime books of all time.

This book entirely centre's around Charles Manson's cult called "The Family" and the famous murders they committed in 1969. There's a lot of uncomfortable sexual content described by former cult members and of course the members were experiencing brain washing at Manson's hands. I didn't think gaslighting is the correct way of describing it as it's far deeper than that.another_dahlia's review against another edition

Everything was written as if it was quoting solely crime reports. When we got to the court room, the author and his experience definitely brought the experience to life and added tension within the story. It just made the book even more lop-sided and overly long.
I recommend it if you are curious about the murders. They are horrifying enough without any added drama. I just felt the book read a bit too long for the writing that was in it.
