With an audacity that vilifies Simpson more than any other author could, Simpson himself provides a "fictional" tell-all account of the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. But Simpson seems more concerned about how the press poorly portrayed the facts, not about his murderous acts but of his personal life and relationship with Nicole. When he's not lamenting about how he is misunderstood, he's playing armchair therapist for Nicole (claiming she was involved with drugs, constantly erratic and still hopelessly longing for him). Simpson insists it was Nicole's actions that ultimately forced him to murder her. With an exclusive commentary read by Kim Goldman, an account of writing the book with Simpson by ghostwriter Pablo F. Fenjves and an afterword by Dominick Dunne, listeners get an interesting balancing act of interests and motives for the publication of this book. G. Valmont Thomas eerily embraces Simpson's sound and speech patterns, making the audiobook more disturbing than the book. Particularly when listeners hear Simpson at his most enraged, they will be impressed and possibly frightened with how well Thomas delivers this first-person narrative. A Beaufort Books hardcover. (Nov.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
The Estate of Ron Goldman was awarded the copyright of IF I DID IT in August 2007 in an unprecedented decision in legal history. Kim Goldman is Ron Goldman s sister. She is the director of a youth charity. She worked on publication of this book with her father, Fred Goldman, and wrote the introduction to If I Did It. Pablo F. Fenjves took the interviews for IF I DID IT. He was a neighbour of Nicole Brown Simpson and a witness at the murder trial who heard the howling of her dog Kato. His recollections of OJ would not have been revealed in the original plan for the book. Dominick Dunne was given a special seat at the murder trial by Judge Ito, and attended every day for Vanity Fair. He previously won praise for his coverage of the murder trial of the Menendez brothers and that of his own daughter.
