Book Reviews of If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer
Book Review: Either way, he's a lunatic or a sicko, or both, for writing this book
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: If I did it.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Clearly a confession
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: Lies and excuses
Summary: 1 Stars
This is nothing more than a whining attempt to blame Nicole for the murders. It goes on and on about how crazy she was and how patient and loving OJ was with only one chapter dedicated to the actual murders and even that does not describe what actually happened. I would only recommend it because the Goldman Family has the rights to it otherwise it is a waste of time. If you want details of these murders read Furhman's book. He is and was a good cop and it shows in how he tells the story of the investigation and trial in meticulous detail.Book Review: Starts slow... but then you can't put it down
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
