Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders

Rating:
Summary: the most exciting book i've ever read. i loved it!!!!!!
Review: I thought this book was magnificent. The way Vincent Bugliosi described everything in such depth. I found some of it to be dragging in the beginning, but am I glad I didn't give up on this one. The chilling reality is what got to me the most.

Summary: Real reason behind the murders was to free Bobby Beausoeil.
Review: Helter Skelter motive is a little far out. Real reason for murder was a copycat of Beausoeil's murder of Gary Hinman.

Summary: All-Night Bedside Reader
Review: I couldn't put this one down! I thought I wasn't a true-crime reader, but Bugliosi's book was so enthralling. It's a real-life horror story and I was amazed at the amount of depth with which he recounted the history.

Summary: This Book Will Scare The Hell Out Of You
Review: Vincent Bugliosi isn't kidding when he writes on the very first page "The Story You Are About To Read Will Scare The Hell Out Of You". Bugliosi somehow finds a way into the sick and distorted mind of Charles Manson, as he was the prosecutor during Manson's trial. He remembers small details from long ago, never moving over to another topic. "Helter Skelter" is a great albeit terrifying book.

Summary: Helter Smelter
Review: Vincent understands nothing about the intricate inner workings of the mind of Charles Manson. He totally misses the point. It would be nice if The Beatles were mystical figures from The Bible, and possesed god like powers to influence The Family towards committing any unpleasantness. Doesn't Vincent know that Charlie only listens to the music of Bing Crosby?

Summary: This is going to scare the hell out of you.
Review: No one-line summary could be more true. Such heinous crimes perpetrated by the mind of one insane drug-crazed hippy influenced by the Beatles could be nothing more but stretching beyond the realms of sanity. Curt Gentry and Vincent Bugliosi, more especially, my congratulations on having come up with such an extraordinary piece of work.

Summary: Bugliosi Rules!
Review: Even with the biased jury in Simpsons criminal case,I believe Vince Bugliosi could have gotten at least a hung jury.He is the best prosecuter of all time in my opinion.He is truly concerned with JUSTICE.I recommend reading all of his books

Summary: I found this to be an excellent book
Review: I have always had a great interest in Charles Manson, his family, and the murders. i knew only a little bit about them after watching the movie but after I read the book, I completely understood everything. I could not put the book down for even a second and I not only wanted to congragulate you on such a GREAT book, I wanted to also say that you must be a great lawywer to have gotten a conviction of death on all of these people. Too bad the supreme court thought the death penalty was cruel and unjust punishment. I think what Charles Mansons' family did was VERY cruel punishment to people he did not even know. He wanted to ignite Helter Skelter when all he really did was scare the crap out of the WHOLE state of California. Job well done on a great book
