I missed the OJ Simpson trial and all it's associated drama by about twenty years. I was eighteen at the time of the murders but far too distracted to pay it any attention. I was homeless and there was no television set behind the Stop and Shop supermarket where I laid my head to rest. I do recall talking on a payphone with my friend Amber as she watched the Bronco chase enfold on her end. As she gave me a bit- by- bit running commentary of what she was seeing, my mind was elsewhere, probably fi...more
This is a such a sad story. I have been interesting in NBS since her untimely passing. I have believed OJ was guilty from the get go, so much unrefutable evidence. This only opens the door to his exessively possessive nature, his extreme jealously, his impulsive behaviors, and his guilt. Sad, but true. I thought the deep and personal sexual descriptiveness of this "diary" was a bit much. It must have been very hard for Nicole's parents to read. I applaud Faye for her honesty, as it revealed the...more
Basically as "friend" she really ratted out some pretty personal details about Nicole's sex life. As much as Nicole Brown Simpson whined and complained that OJ was always cheating on her, from her friend's storying telling, Nicole did just as much "playing" as he did.
I was only in 7th or 8th grade when she was murdered and even at such a young age, you know if you aren't guilty of something then why run?
The abuse that was mentioned all throughout the book just affirmed all Nicole endured and c...more

I gave it 4 stars because I was so enthralled in the story and couldn't put it down, but it really wasn't a well written book. She obviously wrote it for selfish reasons, not to dispel any myths like she claims. Oh wait, there was one: that Ron Goldman and Nicole were friends not lovers.
Some of the stories she related were TMI. Why would she tell these things knowing that Nicole's kids might read it. Some "friend."
But yeah, I was sucked in, I admit it. Just being honest.

ok, this one was SOOOO bad i just loved it. nicole's friend is #1) an ex-cocaine addict, so whatever she says should be taken with a grain of salt #2) is a fabulous hysteric, leaving out mysterious details to sketchy interpersonal situations #3) exemplifies the snooty, rich, white, brentwood cokeslut to a T. it was funny listening to her "memoires." a couple of examples that stick out to me are: how it just was oh-so-horrific to hear that her best friend was murdered the day that she was getting...more

I really enjoyed this book. It was extremely heartbreaking because even Nicole knew her death was coming. But no one would or could help her. I found respect for her when she faced him. She refused to run & uproot her children. This decision proved fatal in the end.
I really enjoyed this book and found it very interesting! I don't usually get bothered by minor editing mistakes but this book had quite a bit. Sometimes I had to re-read a sentence a few times because extra words were added that didn't make sense!

Perspective from another direction... More questions as to how in the world did he get away with this in criminal court? But..those of us who followed the case know why...
More of a tabloid than a novel. Disjointed stories that skipped around. A lot of drama from a marginally credible source...
Saw this book at my parents house and I picked it up since there was nothing on tv. I couldn't put it down. Quick read.
Faye Resnick was NOT a friend of Nicole's or she would not have written this "expose" of a book.
Quick read. Sheds some light on what led up to the murder. I would recommend.
Kind of lame - woe is me - but still tragic for NBS

Oh just as bad as you could possibly guess it would be. I am giving it one star for it's poor quality and the extra star is for it's peculiar iconic quality.
I read this book right after the trial of OJ Simpson. Her life was a great big hollywood party. Very interesting.
Faye Resnick must be the friend in the saying "with friends like this, who needs enemies"...
I devoured this book in a couple hours.
Sad. Just sad.
