Book Description
In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O.J. Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, and he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by committing battery with malice and oppression. In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million. The Goldman family views this book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is the original manuscript approved by O.J. Simpson, with up to 14,000 words of key additional commentary. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice.

 He really did it! August 11, 2008

Some of the beginning seemed to justify the way he treated his wife.
I enjoyed the book, but like so many others I was interested in the chapter about how OJ actually pulled it off. He really did it! The details say it all.
Chilling! August 5, 2008

As I was reading "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer" I had to keep reminding myself that this was a true story. I read it in two days. I cannot imagine how I would feel if the murderer of my children described the crime in blood curling detail like the killer did here. My heart goes out to Nicole and Ron's families. By the way, I thank the Goldman's for pursuing the rights of this book. I would not have purchased it if the killer was going to profit.
 Daughters loved this book August 3, 2008

I bought this book for my two daughters aged 18 and 16. They are both non-readers and I have been encouraging them to read something. They both asked me to buy this book for them to read. I was really hesitant at first because of the topic but I felt that if they want to read I have to encourage them. I would not have bought it if the money goes to OJ but the front of the book claims it goes to the Goldman Family so I bought it. My girls read this book in 2 days. They both said it was a good book. I won't read it because I already have my opinion and don't need OJ to tell me his stories.
 Ego bloated OJ yuk, upper end of an extreme narcissist. August 2, 2008

This book made me simply ill to my stomach. While I understand why the Goldman family wanted to expose oj (its hard for me to even type his initials), his "true story" about Nicole was so sick and distorted. He makes most things HER fault, her problem, "her awful friends", etc. Does he think readers that are half way intelligent people wouldn't see through this crap? That alone shows us who he really is. His old football cleats are wayyyyyy too big for him yet he still trys to wear them because in his egotistical brain hes still "all that". After reading this book with hypocritical supposedly how it happened theme, I say oj get a clue. Heaven isn't going to accept you dude.
 Irritating batch of lies from Simpson July 16, 2008
I have always thought OJ did the crime. That being said, I tried to open my mind, but couldn't as Simpson couldn't even open HIS own mind. The hogwash he writes (via a ghost writer who I believe was spot-on with what OJ said and didn't add much and stayed true to form)makes you so angry you need to put the book down to collect your thoughts.
Gee, the way he talks-Nicole was going to kill HIM. Poor baby.
I do hope the Goldman's make a mint on the book. That is the only justice left regarding OJ "the killer" Simpson. Hw shows what a lying [...] he is from the get go...........
Buy the book just to piss off OJ.
