I think, you probably mean depraved? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) In which case, you're not wrong, it deals with some pretty depraved sh**.<br /><br />No problem - I think it's best to be honest about content!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-55211632585756162412018-07-29T17:26:10.965+01:002018-07-29T17:26:10.965+01:00This book sounds to deprived for my liking.

I think maybe it's best I stick to nonfiction about the Manson murders -- somehow it's less upsetting to read about the version that really happened. And there's the bonus of the gross shit not (hopefully) being romanticized. :/Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-60139306381724239722018-07-27T13:50:11.165+01:002018-07-27T13:50:11.165+01:00I try not to watch cobras - but ok! ;)

The Manson murders themselves do genuinely freak me out because there's just so little logic to them, but they were so consciously carried out - these weren't spur-of-the-moment murders, y'know?! *shudders*Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-38296997921291618972018-07-24T14:45:34.658+01:002018-07-24T14:45:34.658+01:00I remember borrowing this book from the library an...I remember borrowing this book from the library and reading the first chapter and just never going back to it because I was a bit scared. Now I’ll admit, books about cults fascinate me but I don’t know a lot about the Manson murders and do find it a bit scary. Maybe one day I’ll pick up this book again when I’m feeling brave but I don’t have high hopes.paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
