Why America Slept and Case Closed

Product Description

Bridging the gap between truth and the media’s often wild speculation, The Game of His Life tells the story of what really happened on the night of June 30, 2003 in Colorado when basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and a 19-year-old hotel employee crossed paths.

The Game of His Life provides insight into the most incredible true-crime case of the past decade. Containing never before released information about both the prosecution and defense teams’ secret strategies, this is the decisive book on a case whose outcome will have profound effects on popular culture and beyond.

Intriguing and astounding, The Game of His Life takes the reader on a high-speed chase through the real lives of the two main characters, down back alleys of fact and innuendo before reaching a conclusion that will leave the reader stunned.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME BOOK!!!, February 2, 2004

By A Customer

This book was fascinating. . . about soccer and other interesting events that had no purpose. I thought it would be about Kobe, but I felt like I was reading about motorcycles along with a college LAW book. Definitely would recommend it if you are into books that SURPRISE you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking but not completely unexpected I guess., February 6, 2004

By A Customer

I had my own ideas about who did what to who before reading this book. Now I'm completely confused. This book shows you Kobe's point of view and shows you the girls point of view (they call her "Lilly" in the book) and while it has a lot of damaging information about Kobe it also has some pretty crazy stuff about the girl. This will not be an easy case for a jury but the book is really exciting and the ending is crazy! Now I don't know who to believe!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and Thought-Provoking, February 6, 2004

By	Karen Richards (Beverly Hills, CA) - See all my reviews

I got this book from a friend of mine who is a Lakers fan and told her I wasn't interested. I've done some work with women's outreach organizations though and she told me I would like it. I guess what interested me in this book was the information it offered into the woman who was attacked and the way she's been treated by people. In many ways it's a sad sort of book and you can sense that the people who wrote it felt some sympathy. I skipped over most of the stuff about Kobe Bryant's history because it's not really my cup of tea, but I found one of the later chapters about Kobe's defense team really, really interesting. It explains their methods and their plan to destroy the girl's credibility in court. For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised and found some of the legal issues extremely interesting.
