Negative Positive
Title: I don't offend easily, but this book did it.
Review: The first half of the book is outstanding - a compelling and descriptive account of the circumstances leading up to the crime, and the investigation. Then, sadly, the book devolves into Bugliosi writing himself a love letter about how brilliantly he got an obviously guilty woman acquitted. I understand that as a defense attorney, that's his job. But what an insult to the family of the victims to then profit further and proclaim his genius in print. I found it offensive enough that I almost didn't finish, and out of thousands of books I've read, I can count the number I didn't finish on one hand. Okay, Vince, we know you're famous - you prosecuted the Manson family - a group of disorganized idiots that confessed. Not exactly a Clarence Darrow moment. At least he's trying to redeem himself by publicly accusing W of murder for lying to get us into the Iraq mess.
