In the 3/11/99 version of the online magazine Slate, journalist Christopher Buckley says Barbieri was given a $3 million advance for this book. Taking into account dozens of generations of yet-unborn Barbieri-quoting grade school students, the savvy reader will agree (I’m sure) that Ms. Barbieri was robbed by her publisher. An injustice nearly on the scale of the appallingly unfair O.J. frame-up…

I don’t know how someone could be so naive and promiscuous to beleive that OJ is a good man. Before reading this book, i read the ‘reader reviews’ to see what others thought of it. I read how bad this book was, but i was curious as to how naive this woman really was, i loaned the book from the local library. Even with the heads up from the reviews as to how much this book was lacking, i was still shocked at its content. i could not bring myself to read the rest of the book, therefore i only read the first half. so if the second half makes up for the first half’s pure lack of thought, i give Paula credit for writing a good book…on second thought, even if the second half of the book made up for the first half, i still would not give her any credit for writing this…literature..if you can call it that. she didn’t lose money from all of this, (as much as i would like to think this is not true) she earned 3 million dollars from it. if i were in Ms. Barbieri’s shoes, i know one thing i would do is take my $3million, buy a private island and keep as far away from civilization as possible, to avoid any further humiliation from the public. and i would burn any of these books i owned to keep warm on my island, thats about the best use they have.

Well actually I haven’t read it and wouldn’t spend the money. This is a woman who would not even talk to the prosecution during the criminal ttial…….but she will quickly step up to the plate to write a book. Keep your “years” to yourself honey

To believe that Paula could ever tell any truth except for the way she perceives it and uses it for her own benefit is ludicrous. The omissions of the physical abuse and trips to the hosital have conveniently been left out. And, in order to move on, she has left all the people who not only supported her emotionally but financially and truly believes that she alone created her 3 million dollar fee for this book.

I live in Panama City, FL and I know Paula personally. I read excerpts from this book and I feel Paula speaks the truth. As a Born-Again Christian myself (and an Assembly of God lay minister), Paula told me her testimony. To this day, I belive O.J. was innocent (I’m white, by the way), but I feel he had no one to blame but his own self; for the civil downfall. Paula tells the true story and I commend her for it.
