5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Paula Barbieri!, August 12, 2001

By	A reader (New England) - See all my reviews

THE OTHER WOMAN is an important contribution to all of the O.J. Simpson books...I would rank it right up there with Raging Heart and Faye Resnick's book as far as revealing what was going on BEHIND the scenes.

I am so thankful to Paula for writing this book. It helped me understand so much, not only about O.J. and why he may have committed the murders, but also about a woman's heart, and how important the little choices are that we make in life...Paula doesn't hide the mistakes she has made in her life on her journey toward self-awareness...

I do wish that Paula would have been MORE specific about the "Dear John" phone message she left O.J. on the night of the murders...Did she mention Nicole's name in the message? Why was Paula feeling so guilty, then?

Also, Paula relates an interesting recurring dream, and it makes me wonder if she actually felt guilty for "provoking" O.J.'s rage, and therefore felt that she was responsible for "CAUSING" O.J. TO LOSE HIS BELOVED NICOLE...

Paula is a wonderful and spiritual lady, and I hope she finds the happiness she deserves in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...unbelievable, an excellent book!, September 28, 2006

By	V. V. Sanchez "vanessa" (california) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent book, im rereading it now..... Its amazing how one-sided certain situations seem and are presented...but when you take a closer look you see just how something like this affects and changes the lives of so many. This was an amazing book, I never knew, and can only say wow, what an amazing person.

1.0 out of 5 stars 200+ pages of rehashed trash, December 1, 1997

By A Customer

In portraying herself to be the victim of numerous betrayals by O.J Simpson, rather than evoke sympathy and understanding from her readers, the author merely succeeds in proving herself to be weak, materialistic, and as morally bereft as her lover. Given the amount of money made from the sale of this book, it is impossible to conjure up any sympathy for how this relationship "cost her everything." Because of her willing involvement in the events following the murders, I found her many references to faith, spirituality, and strong religious beliefs to be hollow and meaningless. Fortunately, her readers will not be as blind or easily misled as the jurors who acquitted O.J.
