This book is so cool.
It doesn't even title the prologue as a prologue. It just dives in, ignores some of the boring rules of literature and sets its own course.
Told by the same character, a meandering blend of her past and present woven in hypnotic fashion without jarring the reader from either timeline. Sometimes, the author doesn't even address the time jump, just leaves it to the reader to suss it out. Make no mistake, there is nothing clumsy or confusing about the story - past or present. There are striking similarities to the real life story of Charles Manson and his followers but it is different enough that you don't even have to know who Manson is.
My only complaint would be the few slower parts that left me yawning a bit more than I would care to, but that's easily forgiven by the well-paced storytelling and psychological dissection of each character - for those who are savvy enough to pick up on it.
I strongly recommend this book for those looking to depart from the usual, those wanting to curl up for a well-written story.
