Summary: Telling, but only to the extent he could at the time
Review: I read this book with an open mind. I'm probably one of the very few Americans who still hasn't made up their mind of the O.J. Simpson matter. But here, 10 years later, I stumble across O.J.'s book in the local library and decide to listen to his side of the story.Unfortunately, since this book was written when it was (O.J. was in jail awaiting trial) he didn't have the freedom to truly speak his mind in regards to the details surrounding the death of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman. What he was able to tell us; however, are some insights into what was going through his mind as he awaited trials. Of course, he proclaimed his innocence, but the book is about so much more than that. It allowed the reader to understand where O.J. was coming from. His fatherless childhood, his desire to succeed. His confusion as he found himself somewhat unaccepted by two different races for two totally different reasons. Perhaps the saddest part of the book were the various letters that referenced racial issues. Apparently, many Americans can't see past black and white...that's the sad part of the book.

Summary: To say it's PATHETIC is an understatement...
Review: O.J. obviously has alot of nerve playing the RACE CARD. I mean, it appears to me that he doesn't want anything to do with black people, unless they're related to him. He USED the African-American race to keep him out of jail. Other than that, he hasn't done anything for his race. Even worse, it set race relations in the U.S. back by DECADES. I agree with the first reviewer who said that if he REALLY wanted to tell someone something, he's have done it during the civil trial. This is just a pathetic attempt to try to "save face" with the public. Ironically, the only part of the public he's succeeding in is the African-American part, the part that he apparently wants no part of. What ever happened to him "dedicating his life to finding Nicole's murderer"? Dedicating his life! He hasn't dedicated an HOUR to it! Guess he was too busy trying to redeem himself through this book to look for the "real" murderer. I don't understand how this guy can look at himself in the mirror, much less his own (and Nicole's) children. Don't waste your time on this one. If his is guilty, which I believe he is, he probably won't pay for it in this lifetime, but he will definitely have to answer for it in the NEXT one.

Summary: Ridiculous
Review: O.J. really should have used a more accurate title, perhaps "I Want to Fleece You," or "I Want to Bluff You." For those who harbored doubts about his innocence or sincerity, this dreadful opus will dispel them once and for all. He unconvincingly attempts to vindicate himself while making a tidy profit along the way. In his now all-too-familiar style, Simpson indulges in rationalization, self-pity, and blatantly phony claims that he has dedicated himself to finding the "real" killer, although there is no evidence whatsoever that he has done anything about it. The race issue is used purely for convenience, as Simpson has never shown any real interest in his fellow African-Americans; the insincerity of this ploy is exemplified by the enormous degree of personal and financial success which he enjoyed as an athlete, commercial spokesperson, and actor in this "racist" society, while doing absolutely nothing to help the African-American community. It was only when he stood accused of two brutal, grisly murders that he realized that he was the hapless victim of racism. This is a thoroughly disgusting piece of trash, of which O.J. Simpson should be ashamed, were he able to feel any sense of shame. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

Summary: I am Gland That They Found Him Innocent!
Review: OJ Simpson was probably one of the highly publized football player in history during and after his trail. This book gave an in depth look into the life of a man who many loved and many hated during the trail of the century. Personaly I think that OJ's life was not really all that interesting up until the trail. The book really illustrated his life for what it really was, the average life of a famous football player. Many of the aspects of his life that were brought about in his trail were not illustrated a great deal in this book. I think the trail glamorized his life more than he did in his life. Personally I was happy that OJ Simpson was found not guilty, even if he did committe the crime. There are so many innocent black men sitting in jail it is ridiculous. Throughout history innocent black men have been wrongfully accused and imprisioned just because of the color their skin. It caused a stir and many people were unhappy when he was found innocent. The book really uncovered a lot about Simpson's life. Mr. Simpson relly opened up to give us an in depth look at his life and for this reason I gave the book a great deal of praise.

Summary: A Poor Personal Defense
Review: Sorry O.J. Your stories of racially-biased hate mail are touching. But that does nothing to convince me that you are innocent of the crime you were charged with in the respective criminal and civil suits. Nothing else in this book does that either. Why did O.J. feel he needed to write this? His innocence or guilt was to be determined by a jury, not by public opinion. His public reputation would have been tarnished anyway. Maybe he needed more money to pay for his set of "dream team" lawyers (now big-time celebrities as a result of this case). It's no surprise that it's out of print at this point.

Summary: He may say he did it or he may say he did not...............

Summary: O.J.,you sure did tell us!
Review: This half-trashy book deserves a sequel entitled "Now I Can Tell You". The sequel could chronicle the civil trial. Will O.J. still tell us that he was falsely accused of his ex-wife's and Ron Goldman's murder? That was the shortest biography I've ever read. Michael Jackson should write a book about his false accusation of child molesting. O.J. could sure give pointers to murderers who use knives and switchblades.
