Product Description
In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O.J. Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but was ultimately acquitted of criminal charges. The victims' families brought a civil case against Simpson, which found him liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole committing battery with malice and oppression.In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to satisfy the civil judgment in part. The Goldman family views the book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is O.J. Simpson's original manuscript, approved by him, with up to 14,000 words of additional key commentary.

 If I did it. November 17, 2008
My heart goes out the Goldman family. The Goldman's prelude to the book helped me to understand what they had been going through. Their story should have been more publicized. Ron was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have read several books by different people, from Faye Resnick to Mark Furman. Nicole was no saint but she did not deserve to die so brutally. After reading what O. J. Simpson wrote, it confirmed what I had thought all along. He is a Narcissist and a Sociopath and he is guilty of this horrible double homicide. It is a shame that he got away with this.
 Starts slow... but then you can't put it down November 16, 2008
The beginning is full of the Goldman family trying to make you see their side of why the book was printed. Although I can see where they are coming from it was repetative and really did not need to be so long. It made for a slow start to the book. The ghostwriters comments were a plus to the book as they gave some insight into how OJ really was. The actual book itself (the "hypothetical" story told by O.J.) was amazing. There is no doubt that this book really is a "confession." It's sad to know that our justice system is so flawed.
Either way, he's a lunatic or a sicko, or both, for writing this book November 14, 2008
This is a "novel" supposedly written by OJ about how he "would have" killed Nicole "if" he had done it, of course. If he's innocent, he's at best out of his mind for even writing such a book (or having it written for him, which is more likely). If he "did" do it, as 99% of unbiased minds believe, then he's basically spitting in the face of Nicole's corpse by writing such a book as this.
The book itself was fairly well-written and I admit it held my interest and kept me turning the pages. But it also gave me some very uncomfortable moments.
Any way you cut it, he's a lunatic or sicko, or both.

Along with the rest of common sense thinking people I have also believed OJ committed these two murders. This book just verified the fact. I also think it is a confession and his way of getting it off his chest. I'm glad the Goldman family was able to obtain rights to this book and get OJ where it hurts the most..........his pocketbook.
excellent October 31, 2008
Amazing how we all knew he did it but to hear it in his own words was worth it and the Goldman foundation gets the money. That I am most happy about.
Great quick read.
