Oof ok. This book took me ages to finish - not because I didn't find it interesting or well written (it was both of those things) but because everything and absolutely everything is in this book. Want to know who made who cookies after the Manson trial? That's in here. Where all the lawyers of the case have ended up 25 years later? Also in here. I had to renew it from the library twice to make my way through all the nitty-gritty.

That said, I highly recommend it to true crime junkies but definitely not a "casual" reader. I'm a fast reader and my app says this took me 15 hours (tbh feels more like 50) - Bugliosi is thorough.
