A look back at the many women who become followers of Charles Manson during his Helter Skelter siege in California in the 60s & 70s. All were hippie girls who became loyal to the maniac who told them to kill for him...Among those featured here are the stripper Susan Atkins, a sweet-voiced stripper whose looks belied a devil within. Leslie Van Houten who was an educated young woman that became a murderous animal under Manson's control. Patricia Krenwinkel and Squeaky Fromme, who were mentally unbalanced women that became puppets under the psychotic Manson. Lastly, there was Ruth Moorehouse, long considered the most physically attractive of the Manson Girls.
The multitude of errors in this book make it painful to read
Manson is often Mason. Leslie is sometimes Linda. Dean might be Dean, or he could be Dan. Confused yet? Add to that the fragments, the run-ons, the improperly punctuated compound sentences, and the often misused words, and you have a headache instead of an informative read. I can't bear to look and see if an editor was credited.
