"Although more than 700 pages long, I could hardly put this book down. Written in Law and Order fashion, Bugliosi first tells the story of the crime. Then he tells how he defended one of the accused. I admit, though, that I skimmed most of the retelling of his closing remarks (summation) as all the facts and arguments had already been detailed. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed to book. Now for "Helter Skelter", which I never read but lived through via the media."
"Fascinating true crime story, but the author - also the defense attorney - is too fond of himself. More time was spent spouting his theory than the interesting points of the case."
