Description
Millions met Susan Atkins in "Helter Skelter." She was young and attractive, but desperate to find happiness. Alcohol, drugs, and promiscuity didn't satisfy her.... She was looking for more. When she met Charles Manson, she felt she had met the world's savior. Here is her eye-witness account of life and death with the Manson "family." Condemned to die, rejected by society, she found life on death row - a miraculous rebirth as real as a resurrection.Tags

Stupid book, fun read, obviously written by a dude. "I was aware of my new, sexy body, could feel the men watching me as I began to gyrate around the room." Haha, yeah right. Sensationalizes all the things it sets out to condemn, like, I've never envied Charles Manson's super-Svengali powers until I read this and all of a sudden it seemed really sexy and cool. Real trashy read! Found it at my Dad's office.
I don't know if I learned anything new from this book. Susan Atkins had a sad life, not that her own choices didn't contribute to it. Once she goes to prison she finds Christ and the book takes a religious turn.
