Ratings and reviews

This used to be just a pop culture reference to me. If I had read Helter Skelter, is would be just a documentary. But it was written from the family's point of view. Thankfully, this kind of atrociity is not the norm, but we should all share their pain, fear, hopes, and strength, because none of us would ever want this to happen to our loved ones. It is vivid and real to me now.

One of the most gripping and gut wrenching accounts of human suffering I have ever read, please read this book if only to get an insight to the truly inspirational spirit of the tate women and the pure evil of the pepertraters, we must strive for a better world just like those wonderful women doris and patti.

I can't even begin to say how sad and heartbreaking this book is. It definitely gives a very detailed look into what Sharon's family went through after the murders....excellent read
