Cease To Exist: The firsthand account of the journey to becoming a killer for Charles Manson

The book I purchased was in good condition and it was shipped immediately to me. I was very happy with my purchase. Lori

I wasn't expecting much when I picked up Charles "Tex" Watson's book Will You Die for Me, but I have to say that it turned out to be a fascinating read. In the book, Watson traces his life from an average college student to a murderous cult member - but what makes the book unique is his unflinching candor. Watson explains what was going through his mind while he was living in the cult and having these murderous psychotic episodes. The book is written in such a down-to-earth tone that is hard to believe that the author actually did these things - but he did, and there are no scapegoats, not even Mason, Watson takes responsibility for his actions. It is chilling to think that a man capable of being this introspective and articulate, can also be capable of killing strangers on a whim. It is a very good and quick read... and for those interested in the Manson Family crimes, it is a must have.

This is the only book written by anyone associated with the Manson murders that is both full of honest relevations by its author, former Manson murderer "Tex" Watson, and deep understanding of the pain caused to the families of the many Manson victims. Anyone who thinks a person who commits such a horrendous crime could never become a "changed man" needs to read this book from cover to cover!

very lucid account of events leading up to, the crimes, and the following months up to prosecution, Well enough written to burn the events into your mind for a long time.

This is the story of the Manson murders as told by Charles "Tex" Watson" one of the Manson family. He tells the story in a straight-forward manner about the events before, during, and after the crimes. It is MUST reading for anyone interested in the Manson crimes and for readers of "Helter Skelter". It has many surprises in it.
