Very easy read; definitely informative; for what it is, I enjoyed reading this. Nice and descriptive without going overboard. Easy to just keep reading without putting the book down.

Felt like I was transported back to the 60s when this was taking place. Idk if Bugliosi’s calling was a defense lawyer or writer…..

Such a good and detailed book. It feels like you were ACTUALLY there

I don’t understand how the iBooks version does not show any of the pictures. We lose about 100+ pages of pictures and I don’t understand why this varies from the hard copy? Wish I could get a refund. Do not buy this version if you want to see the pics.

This book was highly recommended since I have been getting into true crime novels. I have heard that it’s hard to find a copy of this. I was going to buy this until I read it didn’t contain pictures. I’m glad I read the reviews first. Maybe this doesn’t have any pictures because it’s an ebook??? I don’t know. It shouldn’t make a difference.

I like the book quite a bit so far, but there are a ton of images that are not prsent. Wish I knew before I purchased it here.

Someone explain to me why there are no photos included in this version...anyone?

It should say in the description that the photos from the book are not included. I want my money back.

I paid $14.12 for this. Not a single photo. You're better off getting the print version that includes all the photos on Amazon for $3.00.

Vince Bugliosi is a great courtroom attorney and a great author. I don't understand why IBooks has two versions of the same book.

This is the best true crime book I have ever read. Bugliosi is a fantastic writer and his insider perspective on this case provides insight like no one else can.

I'm so depressed to be nearing the end of this fantastic read. I knocked most of it out in a few nights, and I've been stretching out the last few pages for what seems like forever because I'm absolutely dreading the end. It's honestly one of the most exciting and incredible accounts I have ever read. I read a list of the best True Crime books and this was on the list. I almost overlooked it. I see the name "Manson" and sometimes write it off because there are so many biographies and true crime books about his story, but this particular book is haunting. In great detail, the reader is invited to explore and revel in the depravity of the Manson "Family." Absolutely fascinating and well-written, Bugliosi's experiences are invaluable to anyone who has any interest in true crime, the Manson story, or cults in general. I would recommend this book to anyone with a pulse.

I have only read the sample but it was so good I'm going to buy it. Digital and Hard copy's! Best book I have ever read!!!! A must read

The iBooks version of Helter Skelter is missing 50+ pages of pictures. This only seems acknowledged AFTER you've purchased the book. Go get a hardcopy of this book for more book and less money.

One of my favorite books.

I read this a few years ago and it was very good. It's basically broken into 2 parts, the first is a very matter of fact retelling of what lead up to the murders and the second is written in a more personal style relating of the trial. My only suggestion would be to not make this your bedtime reading material, I had quite a few, shall we say 'interesting', dreams thanks to this book. But still a wonderful read that cuts through all the Hollywood BS and gives the real story.

Incredible book. I could not put it down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about the murder investigations and the ensuing trial. Very detailed and interesting read. The book shows how the prosecutor builds his case against Manson and the family

I have never read anything else worthwhile on this case. This is it. Well written and detailed.

Be advised this edition does not include the 50+ pages of photos present in the print edition. Wish I had known before I purchased.
