Entirely plausible, well-crafted "what-if"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
A fascinating coda to the Simpson saga. An entirely plausible and well-crafted "what-if" story. One is grateful for the addition of "A work of fiction" to the title; otherwise, one wouldn't really be quite sure.... Highly recommended.
This is surprisingly good.

I bought and read this, expecting the worst but was surprised to find an artistic work of fiction. It may be closer to revealing what happened and what might yet happen than any other work
Author grabs slice of Brentwood with acuracy and gusto.

David Bender's work is thoughtful and researched. I was not expecting to find this a-level type of detective fiction in this book. Admitedly, Bender does not have any prior knowledge of these characters. The imagination and character development is truly skillful I would highly recommend this book to any reader willing to take a chance in losing themselves in the "what if?" Having lived around the LA milleau for over 15 years, I was very pleasantly suprised by Bender's grasp of the Show and Sports worlds as the collide. The author's portralyal of Simpson was researched and true. This book has a great future
You must read this book!

It seems as though where ever I've gone for the past week - the beach, the gym, restaurants - there it is: "The Confession of O.J. Simpson". EVERYONE is reading this book and they all have the same comment: "I can't put it down!". Well, either could I. Combining true facts with a brilliant "what if" perspective, Bender weaves an intelligent and fascinating tale of what may have happened the night Nicole and Ron were slain, and the events leading up to it. I devoured every word and felt satiated and fulfilled with this rendition of the possible and probable truth. Thought provoking and fascinating, "The Confession of O.J. Simpson" is a must read.
A NOVELSIST'S FREEDOM TO TELL A REAL TRUTH
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
David Bender has written a remarkable book here, one which I sailed through in a single attentive sitting. With the freedom of a novelist, the freedom to speculate, the freedom from debates and arguments and political positions, Bender has written more human truth about the Simpson case than most other books on the topic. I was a consultant for the prosecution in the Simpson criminal case, and then for the Golman family attorneys in the civil case, and I know the case very, very well. I also came to know the man, the batterer, the murderer O.J Simpson, and no matter how you feel about his guilt or innocence, David Bender's book paints a picture of the fictional Simpson that is far clearer, and with more delicate brush-strokes than you'll ever likely see of the so-called "real" Simpson. Read the book for the pure enjoyment of the novel. If it adds some light to your impressions of the case, all the better. - Gavin de Becker, author THE GIFT OF FEA
