You don't know the full truth about O. J. Simpson and the murders that gripped a nation. But Mike Gilbert does, and after nearly two decades of being O. J. Simpson's sports agent, business adviser, and trusted confidant, Gilbert is breaking his silence and telling the full story of the man he once idolized but now despises.
Very enlightening
| Customer Rating: | | If I had any doubts before, I certainly don't now. Very interesting and believable. I totally understand why Mr. Gilbert did, and felt the need to write this book and I empathize with his position. He's a better man for having done this not only for his own karma but also for Nichole and Ron. |
Read it, but buy it used...
| Customer Rating: | | This story may not be the complete truth, but it's probably the closest any account has ever come. All the explanations make sense, and it appears that the author is coming clean about a lot of his misdoings in helping OJ get away with murder.Is he trying to redeem himself or is he just out to make a buck? It's not clear. The book is definitely worth reading although consider buying it used so as not to put more money in the pocket of this author who should probably be in prison himself. |
Never Complain but Do explain
| Customer Rating: | I didn't read any books about OJ. He did it, period. I was always pretty sure i knew why he did it, but this book clarify's why he really did, how he managed to do it, how it all came down and to me its as truthful a book as you can get. He spares NO one. His constant ambivalence is evident through-out the book, even now when he apologizes to the Goldman's he will still go through the reliving of the hate he felt for everyone outside of OJ's camp.
There is plenty new here, I didn't find any of the book to be redundant or self serving. The only problem i had with it of course was the distaste that today, even after all he professes to feel and have learned about himself as a human being, he has still held on to OJ memorabilia as if its the Holy Grail. It seems to me, if he is as sincere as he says, about being the person he was before Greed and illusion got to him, he'd donate all the things he still has hidden to the victims families, and forget about the March of dimes, how about Domestic abuse? But what can you expect from a guy who says that the only reason he finally came clean was
Not because OJ murdered two people ( he forgives him that)
Not Because OJ was a horrible father
Not Because OJ was a drug addict sex addict and narcissist
but because after all Mike Gilbert did for him, OJ threw HIM under the bus.
So, had OJ remained loyal to Mike , chances are his conscience would not have spoken so loudly.
Aside from my personal feelings, its a book worth reading because i think it rings with the truth of what was going on as horrendous as it all was and continues to be today. |
Looking to Repent? I have a solution!
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this Mike Gilbert Book because I had heard or read that the proceeds were going to charity. I saw that the charity was for the March of Dimes and was not all of the profits from this book. Just a third. If Mike Gilbert feels as bad as he says he does in this tell all book he should have also devoted the other two thirds of the profits to the Nicole Brown Foundation set-up by Nicole's Sister Denise and any Foundation set up by the Goldman family. A simple "I regret what I did and I am truly sorry for my part in this case" then he should not profit one cent from the sale of this book. That would make me believe that he has truly repented and is not looking to fill his pockets with Nicole's and Ron Goldman's blood. Think about it Mike... if the gloves have fit the outcome would have been much different. And we have you to thank for that! |
Gut wrenching, but a relief this book was done
| Customer Rating: | I'm in the umpteenth read of this book (I doing my own work on OJ Simpson, to be published soon), and found Mr. Gilbert's book a necessary look into this horrific incident. This man went to hell and back writing this, not just for self-atonement, but to karmically clear up his wrongdoings. And he did an admirable job of it.
There were a few new pieces of information which gave a fuller picture of what this entire business was about. The hardest thing was to watch him sell his soul to values and ethics that weren't his own.
Perhaps the real message in this book, is to choose your heroes wisely. Heroes, however, will fall from grace at some point - if we put them up on a pedestal that is too high. What Mr. Gilbert found out was that his own soul was more important than OJ SImpson's - and reclaimed it back.
And therein, lies the betrayal. OJ couldn't handle that from anyone. He made himself the keeper of many souls - and wasn't worthy of that.
Mr. Gilbert, if you are reading this review, let me congratulate you on a well done job. You definitely did what God wanted you to do, writing it. |
