Some mildly interesting bits and a whole lotta boredom.,
By Darrel Johnson "DJ Johnson" (Lake Hills, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tex Watson: The Man, the Madness, the Manipulation (Paperback)
Before you buy this book you should ask yourself if bad writing bugs you. The book is filled with bizarre comments and exclamation marks. Nelson caps his points with single word sentences that just get obnoxious after a while. (Manipulation! Death! Murder!) His agenda is clear from the get-go. I don't disagree with his main point, that Charles Watson did things so horrible that he should never rejoin society. But Nelson seems to find support for that in some places where it just doesn't exist. It all comes off like it wants to be overwrought pulp fiction, but most of the meat is direct trial transcripts that are like all actual trial transcripts: boring. Long strings of yes/no questions, tons of interruptions, and relentless driving home of points that were probably important, but they're boring as hell to the reader. This isn't to say there aren't interesting sections, but you will have to learn to ignore his silly style if you want to read this. There's also a lot of "the one true God" and "he went to church so why did this happen" naivete. Still, if you've read everything you can find on Manson you should probably read it for the very few nuggets you'll find.

Bill Nelson??,

This review is from: Tex Watson: The Man, the Madness, the Manipulation (Paperback)
I thought Bill Nelson was busy trying to connect Bruce Davis to the Zodiac Crimes... Nelson you are a Moron. Even when your premise might even be solid, you still blur facts and have a very loose grip on reality

The Greatest Book Ever Written,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tex Watson: The Man, the Madness, the Manipulation (Paperback)
Ok. I don't believe that.What can I say about this book -- it is a trashy, cheaply produced book loaded with sensational, trashy information about a sensational, horrifying topic. I couldn't put it down. I appreciated the pages and pages of courtroom testimony that appear in this book. I'm no expert on Manson, so I really enjoyed these sections. Over 25 pages of photographs. I couldn't put it down. And, sure, the author has a point of view about Watson. Here's what the back cover blurb... "Tex Watson has a non-profit ministry while in prison for the murder of seven people. He has fathered three children through conjugal visits. He has a cult-like following across the nation. He wants to be released from his life sentence in prison. He sends his wife Kristin out to give "a greeting" at local churches. He even has the daughter of one of his victims speaking out demanding his release. Tex Watson wants to be a televangelist. This investigation reveals the real Tex Watson. Lieutenant of murder for Charles Manson. Has he really changed? You decide."
