Reviews by John

this is a really great piece of work and narrated by Jon Ronson himself. It's really quirky, very funny and a fascinating insight into the madness industry. I learnt so much from this book.

the first part of this audiobook does not work. I've told audible and they haven't responded. It didn't work on my PC, it didn't work on my iPod and it didn't work on my iPad. after the usual audible description at the start, it skips to your next audiobook. the other parts worked fine, production seemed professional and well read, but I had no idea what was going on really as the first part didn't work. Please sort it out because I really wanted this book.

it's a lecture not a book and this needs specifying. I bought this believing the information provided... turns out that this is a rambling, unstructured lecture that is delivered by a nervous, characterless voice. It seems more about the authors experiences than the subject matter, which is not why I bough this book.
it just feels like it lacks substance... we're told at the beginning that there's a set of lectures on the subject... well that's what I thought I'd bought, where are they?

I couldn't stop listening to this. A very informative and fascinating book. I was sad when it ended.

I found this a really hard book to read but it was great as an audiobook and very accessible. Full of mystery, intrigue and really terrifying that the man was never caught. Great download.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was a fascinating insight into the old world of the mafia. I'm just blown away that the answer to the Kennedy assassinations is in this book and yet still people are debating the conspiracy theories. I just couldn't put my ipod down and spent a whole day listening to this from the beginning to the end. Without a doubt this is one of the best audio books that I've listened to.

A thoroughly enjoyable look inside this man's strange mind and the world that he lives in. There is a touch of the sycophant in the authors voice but I was very interested in the satanic connections between Manson and Polanski. All in all this is a must for all fans of subculture..
