 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.
Clearly a confession October 31, 2008
Very interesting. I can tell the book is a one sided discussion of his marriage and its failure. The chapter on the actual murders sounds more truthful then anything else written. However, I am not sure about this second person. I doubt there was another person present. Since I don't have the mind of a murderer, I cannot explain why he would say someone else was with him. But overall, I do think the book is a confession.
I also am proud of the Goldman's courage to publish this book. I know it must not have been easy.
