That is all explained in the prologue as well. I would not call this a waste of time, but like the prologue of the book says, it will show the mind of a killer.
Not because it had gory details in it, but because of how O.J. talks about himself.
This was a very disgusting book. It's obvious it's filled with lies and he constantly overuses the phrase, "to be honest", It's also sickening how he portrays Nicole when she's no longer here to defend herself.
He's the perfect husband/ex-husband who is so loving and caring and fighting mightily for his marriage. Nicole is portrayed, however, as a clingy, needy, witch of a woman.
I am also glad that the Goldman family now have the rights to this book and receive some type of compensation for the loss they have suffered. Quite a read.however annoying, disgusting, and at times laughable.
All that ranting, crying and excuse making that I had to read to get to one page "confessing" that if he killed her it's because he loved her was garbage. Typical abuser mentality. The press sensationalized the confession and book sales. Let him rot in jail.
This book gives the whole inside on OJ and how he murdered his ex-wife, He writes the book, in my opinion the exact way he got away with murder. Justice is what he is now recieving. God works in mysterious ways.
curiosity got the best of me. very easy read. but i saw that Dominick Dunne wrote the afterword so i bought it. almost too easy. but then again, look who wrote it. and not a penny goes to OJ. yeah.
The end is a bit sad and I even sympathize with O.J.'s grief a little. by the ghostwriter about how O.J. It starts off with a message from the Goldman family about how the book was about justice and not money (even though it ultimately is.about money) but I sympathize with them and then also another intro. It was worth reading to me as I didn't know that much about O.J. This chapter is really written well and ties together the book and ending but is really the only part worth reading. about the trial itself and some resources to check out if you are either the victim or related to the victim of a horrible crime and seeking justice.
That really gives you (the reader) an idea of how gone from reality O.J. by everyone else as a confession when it reality it all came from his head and wasn't anyone's fabrication to slader his name. Simpson really is and how in the coming chapters he makes himself into a martyr. Then comes the "If I Did It" book itself. To be honest, it was kind of a boring book. look like a really good guy in a misunderstanding. Then comes the "hypothetical" chapter that is really graphic and may disturb some readers.
The fear, the rush, the down to the detail description makes one wonder "Wow, either O.J. Simpson is a brilliant writer or maybe something else is going on here". Simpson but it turned into so much egotistical and heavily bias drama. tried to pass this off as something that was pushed on O.J. If he did it or not it really messed him up.
It was nice for the first couple of chapters to get a background on Nicole Brown and O.J. Nicole does this, Nicole does that, police come and go, news, OJ and Nicole split up and get together and then love and hate each other on and off and on and off for the majority of the book to make O.J. After the end there is a bit of info. but if you know about his history more or less all you really need to read is that one chapter.
