This is a difficult book to review as I have a definite opinion of O.J. Simpson's guilt in the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman murders. However, setting that aside I will try to objectively tell you about the book.
O.J. Simpson was found not-guilty of criminal charges in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Following that decision in 1997 he was found guilty of the same murders in a civil court. He was fined 19 million dollars to be paid to the Goldman family and 12.5 million dollars to be paid to Nicole Brown Simpson estate for her children. He walked free and spent years avoiding payment by moving around, creating companies and finally settling in Florida. In 2006 Harper Collins announced an upcoming book where O.J. Simpson hypothetically explained how he would have committed the murders. In 2007 the rights of the book where awarded to the Goldman family.
The Goldman family views the book as his confession. The ghostwriter, Pablo F. Fenjves, uses the term âmalignant narcissism' once in his Prologue to describe O.J. Mr. Fenjves had a time with Mr. Simpson. First he gave details that only the murderer would know and then when the book was done he wanted those parts to be deleted.
The book starts when O.J. meets Nicole and goes through their 17 year old rocky relationship. Of course, O.J. makes himself out to be a saint throughout which automatically makes one suspicious because no one can be as perfect as he makes himself out to be. Then there are the details he gave but throughout it all he reminds Mr. Fenjves and the readers that this is a work of âfiction.â
