Sanders knows his stuff so I was delighted to hear he was penning a belated follow-up of sorts, a biography of the beautiful and talented Sharon Tate.However, this book was rather disappointing. It is peppered with inaccuracies that will jar any reader with more than a cursory knowledge of events, it is very repetitive (how many times do we need to be told that the past is like quicksand?) and it does occasionally go off on rather irrelevant tangents – i.e. detailing plots for films that have nothing to do with Sharon.Having said that, this is still worth buying if you have any interest at all in Sharon’s life and career, and what an absolute thrill to hear directly from her close friends Shahrokh Hatami, Sheilah Wells and – especially – Joanna Pettet, who was one of the last visitors to Cielo Drive before things went so sadly and horribly awry.Sanders has a bit of a hard time from some of Sharon’s more sanctimonious fans who accuse him of being a Manson apologist (which he isn’t – at all). There are no crime scene photos in this book and Sanders makes it clear in his introduction that he likes and admires Sharon. Yes, the book does delve a little into the salacious rumours surrounding the Tate/Polanksi/Sebring crowd at the time but it wouldn’t be a true reflection of the story if it didn’t.While I don’t buy the RFK/Manson theory touted in this book for a minute, many people feel – including Sharon’s late mother, Doris – that there is another story regarding the Tate/LaBianca case which has never come to light, so huge kudos to Sanders for continuing to dig. ### ⭐⭐ NO PHOTOS! *by J***J on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020* ALTHOUGH OLDER RELATIVES INSIST SHE WAS NOT THE GREATEST ACTRESS AND MY UNCLE INSISTS THERE WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL CELEBS LIKE CANDICE BERGEN AND JACLYN SMITH....THE BOOK WAS PRETTY INFORMATIVE..HOWEVER..NO PICTURES JUST DRAWINGS~NEVER KNEW JAY SEBRING WAS IN A SATANIC CULT WHICH WAS NEWS TO MY OLDER RELATIVES.. ### ⭐ An epic disappointment *by H***2 on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016* I anxiously awaited this book from Ed Sanders. His The Family book was epic though jumbled and in need of an index. I was highly disappointed. Much of this is speculation and basically info he had in the Family. The beginning sections on Sharon left a lot to be desired and his oo-ee-oos that ran rampant in the Family were replaced by something concerning quicksand. The charm of the style of writing in The Family was not present in this book, and one can find a conspiracy in everything if one looks hard enough.I was really hoping for some revelations, and not the biblical kind. I did not find any. I will keep the book for my collection but it is one that I will not reread. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/21983015-sharon-tate-a-life](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/21983015-sharon-tate-a-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
