Customer Reviews

Scary, because it could happen!

This book is so chillng because it could happen at any time. What IF Manson escapes? How do we know that there ISN'T an entire legion of Mansonmaniacs out there, waiting for his release? Besides the role of today's media would spur on the action!Couldn't put it down!!!!!!!!!!

An interesting trip into "What if..."

This book deals with 2nd generation members of the Manson Family and how their lives have been affected (distorted?) by Charles Manson and his brood. It's an interesting look at "what if..." Manson's followers rose again and somehow freed him to roam and terrorize the countryside once more. The main characters are believeable, but not sympathetic enough to really root for in this novel. I give Perry credit for some imaginative research and development with his book, however. A somewhat predictable ending help to keep this from being a really top-notch thriller.
