Gotta read. Such an interesting read! Makes you rethink about the truth, which we may never know but I think it’s important to question things and to not 100% accept one persons narrative which this book brought out alot of peoples version/ their own questions too

Wow. Excellent page-turning stuff. This book had my head spinning. One of the best non-fiction crime books I’ve read in a long time. The level of commitment to get this book published is frankly jaw-dropping—and the proof is in the proverbial pudding.

Bad Landing. This is a lesson in being overly self-aware. Seven of the chapters are amazing and well worth reading. The rest should have stayed on the cutting floor.

Great book. It was very interesting all the way through. It makes me wonder if the time we’re living in now isn’t some government operation to divide us all.

Hard to put down. This book is so interesting that it is hard to stop reading. It’s amazing that none of what is in this book has not been told before. What you thought about the Manson Family and the murders is very different than the truth explained in this book.

Compelling In Its Details, Refreshing In Its Lack of Finality. It’s impossible to read this book and come away believing that it’s anything less than a labour of love. Far too many paths of least resistance were eschewed to view its writing cynically. The cynicism comes wholly from the damning picture it paints of the political and intelligence apparatus, at least in Los Angeles if not in the United States as a whole. What makes it all the more compelling is that O’Neill refrains from painting us an alternative final picture that he cannot support from evidence, however tantalising it might be to do so. Instead, he makes it incontrovertible that, whatever colours are in the palette, Helter Skelter isn’t amongst them. It’s regrettable that this book has received so little attention and has garnered no journalistic follow-up. Despite being the embodiment of the us versus them, none of the players are relevant to the current political landscape, hence it is unimportant. This reader hopes that other researchers take up O’Neill’s torch and continue searching for the truth.

Detailed CHAOS. In a story as complicated and chaotic as this one, more than anything else I appreciate the authors commitment to the details regardless of where they lead. Everything in this story is worth being written into a book of its own, and I sincerely hope they do. For taking us along for the ride of the writing of this book, I feel a much deeper connection to the author himself than I expected to at the start which is no small feat considering the various entities and cult of personality involved. I struggled to put this down and I know others will as well.

Awesome read, important history. Love this author.. Excellent reporting. The Manson murders reek of cover up and further secure a sense that law enforcement agencies don’t themselves follow laws.

I’m Blow Away. Maybe the most fascinating and engaging thing that I’ve ever read; and I read lot’sa stuff. This careful, responsible and entertaining piece of journalism will forever alter your world view. I’m a Tom O’Neill for life now.

Well worth the read. Lots of interesting avenues explored.

Lame. Seems to overreach... Bugliosi’s Helter Skelter theory was Charlie’s delusion, but his true motive was to deflect heat onto the Black Panthers, who he feared and knew would make a convenient scapegoat for killing Hinman. And yes, this was all because his aspirations of rock stardom were dashed, and he knew the Family was falling apart. This book tries to overcomplicate the banality of evil, and fails to make any tangible connection between Charlie and the government. One new insight is that Vincent Bugliosi is clearly unstable. Overall, not worth the 500+ pages of dead ends, circumstantial innuendos, and investigatory dead-ends. A valiant if not somewhat sad attempt at a big scoop with little to no substantiation.

The title says it all.. I’ve read a lot of true crime. Next to the Bible this is the best book I ever read. Tom presents the reality of how twisted the US government and law enforcement and court system is. This book can make sad and mad and shocked. The only dislike about it is that there is not for even half a second any joy at all. A personal thought: concerning mountains interviews I think Tom Schneider‘s interview was the biggest journalism failure ever because if he would’ve quit interrupting so much, I think Madison would have cleared a few things up or send some interesting things or even confess something. He was trying to say something.

First book I’ve read in 10 years.. Only complaint I have is that I finished it. Killer reporting.

Chaos. Outstanding book! I appreciated the way that the author kept the reader informed on what he was thinking along the way and how he went about researching this topic.

Unnerved and Craving More!. This book was so engrossing that I found myself awake at 4:30am reading, losing all track of time. There are actually 3-4 other books that could be written based on just a few pages here. Chaos is 480 pages but I was still wanting more when I reached the end. I can’t wait for you next book!

Excellent read. A ride from start to finish!

A really great read. Really well done, fascinating, and I will be reading it again after I write this review. The author apparently has tons of more material too, which he says could go into another book. After reading CHAOS, I am now obsessed with that second book happening. Please take a look, I swear it’s worth it.

Amazing Diligence. When you follow leads & your intuition, the truth can happen. This book is amazing and a proof positive piece to challenge those who consume the narrative without question.
