I truly enjoyed this book about Ron Goldman written by his family. I never knew much about Ron because of course, the media mostly ignored him and concentrated on the other victim, and on the killer. This book is heartbreaking but really brings you close to this family who lost so much. The family shares Ron's life with very touching, loving and truthful words. The only thing I didn't like was reading about the trial and that's because it was such a joke that it is sickening to read it again after having heard it all when it was happening in the mid-90's.

A friend said 'you gotta read this" and i went "not another O.J. bunch of lies" and she talked me into it. It isn't about O.J. This book is good and it is about Ron Goldman written by his family so there is alot to learn that we never heard before. He was a person and part of a family. He was loved. There are lots of pictures and this is a very well written book, and i do have to say--"i did have to read it" it was excellent.

I liked the book and cried a few times throughout the reading. The book was very informational and I feel the families loss. It took me a while to finally open the book and read it. Pretty sad circumstances about our legal system. At least now O.J. is in jail for a different crime and should have been in jail after the criminal trial. It is amazing to think that a group of lawyers can defend a criminal and go to bed at night and sleep. I still don't understand how an attorney can defend someone that has committed a crime. As it is written in the book, if criminals were smacked hard on their first offense we wouldn't have such crime in our country and the jail system might not be so crowded. What a shame. I think the cover of the book should have just had Ron Goldman's picture on it and the inside or the back cover should of had the family portrait, just my opinion.
