I Want to Tell You: My Response to Your Letters, Your Messages, Your Questions

Summary: A Waste Of Time
Review: A much more appropriate title for this book would have been "I Want To Tell You Lies", but author John Lane used it for a book he published several years ago. There will always be those persons who believe (or want to believe) in Simpson's innocence, but an even larger segment of the American populace remains unconvinced, and this book does nothing to dispel those doubts. The verdict in the trial was highly questionable, and Mr. Simpson's behavior prior to his arrest raises even more doubts. To the devoted Simpson disciple, the fact that he was carrying a large amount of cash and a disguise means nothing; similarly, the suicide(?) note he wrote, his lengthy freeway excursion (while holding a gun to his head), his well-documented history of domestic violence, and the verdict in the civil trial are of no import. However, to the discerning reader, this book fails to establish anything more than that Mr. Simpson was seeking to bluff the public, while making a tidy profit along the way. For those who continue to idolize Simpson no matter what, this sad, sorry little collection of self-serving whinings will provide many hours of pure joy, but for those who are not doctrinaire Simpson groupies, this book will prove to be a waste of time and effort.

Summary: Pure Tripe
Review: For all those doctrinaire Simpson disciples who still think that good old O.J. is the reincarnation of St. Francis of Assisi, this horrible little book will probably be accepted as pure gospel. However, the discerning reader will soon discover that there is nothing worthwhile here, just a ridiculous collection of self-serving whinings about how poor O.J. is the real victim. To paraphrase an old TV ad, "O.J. Simpson has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A"!

Summary: A Different Perspective
Review: Most of the people who criticise this book are the same people who had OJ convicted before he got accused. This book was a good read. I found the explanations plausible. For the disbelievers let me ask one question: How could OJ have possibly committed the crime, removed the "bloody" clothing, footprints and all the evidence that was never found and catch a flight to Chicago? You would have to believe that he planned the entire thing. Sorry, it doesn't pass the smell test! I believe OJ was proven not guilty. Whether he is innocent, is not for me to determine. Anybody with a brain can speculate...I can only say definitively that he was not proven to be guilty. Is that the fault of OJ?
