This review is for the Audible version (currently available on the Truly Criminal Audiobooks channel at no charge for Amazon Prime subscribers).
Tellingly, the killer is not listed as an author. The named authors are The Goldman Family, Pablo F. Fenjves, and Dominick Dunne.
The narrators include Kim Goldman and Pablo F. Fenjves and, I'm sure, would have included Dominick Dunne if he were still living. The killer's chapters are read by G. Valmont Thomas. Dominick Dunne's chapter and the list of resources is read by Grover Gardner.
I watched every minute of this trial on Court TV, as well as the iconic Bronco chase. I would never have read/listened to this book if I thought it would monetarily benefit the killer but, thanks to the Goldmans' persistence, that will never happen.
The killer is a pretty good story teller. I am thankful that his writing is bookended by the Goldmans, Fenjves, and Dunne.
It feels really strange to give this four stars, stating, therefore, that I “really liked it”. It gave me the creeps, it made me uncomfortable, it made me sad. But I am glad I read it...and, as much as someone could, I did really enjoy reading it.
Do I think O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman? Yes.
Do I think the murder scene in chapter 6 of this book is hypothetical, as stated by Simpson? No.
