I‘m a California girl and a childhood friend of mine, older brother was a guard at San Quentin and for a short time he guarded Charles Manson before he was later moved to another prison. Rarely are the victims the soul focus of a documentary when speaking of the Manson murders. This book is basically a biography of this beautiful woman‘s life and sadly a documentation of how it ended. #truecrime #nonfiction #sharontate

I might be biased because I‘m a huge fan of Sharon Tate, and I absolutely love the movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I jumped to buy this when I saw QT made a novelization based on the movie. I‘d recommend watching the movie first because there are spoilers in the book and it‘s not told in a linear timeline. But I loved this! There are tons of new and expanded scenes in the book and it really does transport you back to the late 60s. We learn ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Tons more backstory on Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton. I especially love how much detail it goes into about Rick‘s TV pilot for the fictional western Lancer, and I really wish it were a real show. Overall, if you enjoy the movie then I believe you will like the book. It‘s a great snapshot of the 60s and I love the new bits about Sharon Tate. I wish QT would write more books like this! He even published it straight to a mass market paperback ⬇️ 3y
JenlovesJT47 Reminiscent of the era, including advertisements at the end of the book for books that came out in 1969. 5⭐️ Highly recommended! 3y

jdiehr I just loved this book! And the ads in the back - such a great finishing touch 3y
JenlovesJT47 @jdiehr yes!! I confess I bought the kindle edition the day it came out because I was too impatient to wait for the book in the mail! 😆 But I‘ll definitely be adding the physical book to my collection ASAP. I really wanted the audiobook but the reviews for the narrator were terrible, which is a huge bummer. Maybe they‘ll get a new one some day. ❤️ 3y
TieDyeDude Nice. I didn't realize this was out 3y
