For me, this book was all about how O.J.'s mind became notoriously affected by the murder of Nicole and Ron. Despite the consecutive debate about whether he's guilty or not, this book was extremely controversial and kinda bizarre in some parts of it. When he talks about his relationship with Nicole, all I could think about was "well, it's easy to say this when the other person from the couple is dead". He repeatedly blame Nicole for being too jealous, too moody and even too whiny by the time their marriage went downhill. I got a lot to think (and read) about before concluding what to believe in all this media circus around two victims and one of the world's most famous athletes. All in all, I do recommend the book if you promise me it won't be the only one you'll read about the case.

Para mim, esse livro foi sobre como a mente de O.J. Simpson se tornou notoriamente afetada pelo assassinato de sua ex-mulher e um amigo. Independente do cansativo debate sobre ele ser ou não culpado, esse livro foi extremamente controverso e meio bizarro em algumas partes. Quando ele fala sobre seu relacionamento com Nicole, tudo que eu conseguia pensar era "bom, é fácil dizer isso quando a outra pessoa do casal está morta". Ele repetidamente culpava Nicole por ser muito ciumenta, muito temperamental e até muito pegajosa/chorona quando o casamento já estava indo ladeira a baixo. Tenho muito o que pensar (e ler) sobre o caso antes de concluir no que acredito diante desse circo que a mídia criou ao redor de duas vítimas e um dos atletas mais famosos do mundo. Apesar dos pesares, eu recomendo o livro se você me prometer que ele não será o único que você lerá sobre o caso.

Despite this book being written in incredibly poor taste, my morbid curiousity got the best of me and I decided it would be worth the read. (It wasn’t but I don’t like giving up on books I’ve already started).

This is totally a confession… he just couldn’t not tell his side of the story. He honestly sucks as a person and is probably a sociopath. I am glad the victims family’s benefit from this and not the killer.

E-book is littered with spelling errors and mistakes with the sentence structures.
but it’s a fascinating look into the mind of a narcissist, and often had me wondering what was true and what wasn’t, because he’s an unreliable narrator.
also he 100% did it

It's not well written. It's not even particularly interesting, even for someone who was interested enough in the real life events tovread the book.
It should come with footnotes and sources to refute some of the claims OJ makes in the book.
