What do you think of OJ Simpson writing a book called “If I Did It”? Will you read it?

Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister is upset and calling for a boycott of the book. Awhile back, because of public outcry, publishers Harper Collins canceled publication of the book. Mr. Goldman’s father called the book “disgusting and despicable”.

Now, a smaller NYC publisher is going to publish the book with all rights being turned over to the Goldman family to go towards a $38 million dollar wrongful death suit. All of a sudden, Mr. Goldman doesn’t mind the book being published. Probably figures they won’t get any money otherwise. OJ has been broke forever.

Personally, I won’t read the book. I think it’s tacky of him to write it, but that goes without saying, being the low life that is him.

I think that it is disgusting of the Goldman family to stand for the book being published in the first place. Secondly, I think that it is disgusting of OJ to even contemplate writing something like this, let alone actually doing it. I will not be reading the book, and I hope that no one in my family does. But if they do, I will ask them what they think once they are finished.

Maybe they will have been enlightened, no who am I kidding?

The Goldman family, according to FOX news, is going to add commentary to the book but will leave Simpson's book intact. Last fall when the news was first released that he had written this book and stood to profit from it I was appalled. With the involvement of the Goldman family, I might actually read it. I learned long ago never to say "never."

I would never read the book, I would have never done anything to put one thin dime into that murdering SOB's pocket. It's my understanding that the book has been tweaked to come closer to telling the truth of what happened, but I still think it's sensationalizing what was a vicious crime that should have put him away for the rest of his miserable life. Better to make a donation to the Ron Goldman Foundation,.

The only reason I would purchase the book, is so that the proceeds go to the Goldman's. The title should be "How I did it" and that would guarantee a best seller. Just look at Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

I wouldn't read it, the majority of people are familiar with the case and are already pretty sure how he did it.

My brother says the word "If" should have been left off the title.

I would read the book. Personally I think it should be called.... "Here's how I did it and how I got away with it"

I find it hard to believe that a Father

would write that about his Children's Mother.

No way would I read it or buy it.
