Book Review: Helter Skelter
This is a classic true crime novel written in 1974, based on the murders committed by Charles Manson and his cult in the summer of 1969. No doubt you’ve heard the story – you have probably even seen the movie that came out in 1976, which is also based on this book, too. But the novel delves much deeper into the world of the Manson Family, and tells parts of the story you cannot find anywhere else.
Written by Vincent Bugliosi, prosecutor of Charles Manson and several other members of his cult, there is no doubt that what he tells is the truth. The truth how he sees it, at least.
