If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer

I would not have even considered buying this book if any of the proceeds had gone to OJ Simpson but since they go to the Goldman family I did purchase it and read it the day I received it.

It is a very simple and fast read, very enlightening. It seems OJ wanted to confess and he did so with much detail. It answers questions people may have as to how it was done but nobody will ever understand the why. He is so narcississtic it's hard to believe that he thinks people would actually believe he is SO kind and understanding towards Nicole during their separation, but he does have a sick mind.

The decision to cooperate in writing this book seems to have been the worst strategic blunder. Those who didn't read or understand it took it as a confession of guilt, not as fiction.
This book may have prompted a group to stage a sting to entrap OJ in a kidnap-robbery that would lead to his conviction and imprisonment.
Is entrapment a defense against being procured to commit a crime?

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.

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.

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.
