Summary: Without a doubt, NOT GUILTY
Review: I like Mr. Rob's review of the book. I gave ita 2 b/c it must have been hard for Marcia toreveal her steamy encounter with a hotel doorguy in Europe at age 17. Could have included more details on that. I am gonna pardon her for being so bitter and filled with wrath. Cuz when a person is angry, she often say things she doesn't really mean. With her talent, even if she is not practicing law, I believe Marcia can prevail in other areas. Such as be a good mother and take care of her two boys. Say Mr. Darden is married, am I not correct.??

Summary: I think Marcia Clark is an inspiration!
Review: Not only an inspriration to women, but to all men and womenwho strive for principle, integrity, and honesty. She is to becommended for her back breaking efforts for justice in the face of insurmountable odds. And, if that were not enough, she managed to face heart wrenching self discovery issues, that by themselves are life altaring for any man or woman! What an ironic sideline that this truly tragic and historical event in American history was the stepping stone to her hard fought battle to self acceptance and happiness. Fate has it's mysterious reasons and results. Way to go Marcia! We love you! I only wish there were a way to send this message personally to this person of such integrity.

Summary: Marcia Clark should read Vincent Bugliosi's book,
Review: After all this time to gain some insight into "The TrialOf The Century," Marcia Clark delivers an angry, arrogantdiatribe filled with blame and contempt for almost everyone involved...except herself. Never before has one been paid so much to say so little and point fingers at so many. It seems Ms. Clark should do a little house cleaning of her own instead of going to town on "The Dream Team," Mr. Darden, and Judge Ito. Admittedly, they all played their parts but Ms. Clark has the audacity to say that she knew the case couldn't be won from the questionairre process of jury selection. If that's so, what business did she have going forward as one of the lead prosecutors? I'm sure there must have been someone in the DA's office who could have mustered up the positive energy and tenacity to believe that this case could be won. Ms. Clark not only comes off arrogant and bitter, she comes off misinformed, ignorant, and lacking any real or meaningful perspective on a case she spent years living. Her revelations (or lack thereof) are a mile wide and an inch deep. And it is a sad commentary that one cannot learn from their failures. Where is the silver lining? The nugget of wisdom after such an ordeal? It seems that Marcia Clark could learn a thing or two from Vincent Bugliosi in his book, "Outrage." But then, she'd have to actually listen to someone other than her own press.

Summary: Marcia Clark, author, inept Attorney.
Review: A gabby piece of literature. Why this woman let the defense team in the Simpson trial, hand-pick a sympathetic jury, and later, she wonders why she lost the trial... I am dumbfounded. Where did she get her law degree? Toys R us? Send a woman to do a man's job...

Summary: Highly entertaning, without being overly melodramatic
Review: With all the terrible crime scene police work, I don't think anybody other than OJ himself can ever find out whether he was guilty or not. But a book reader's interest is not to uphold one set of criminal evidence by suppressing another. As a book, Without A Doubt is a great read. It's highly entertaining without being overly melodramatic. Marcia, of course, is just as brutally honest about, if indulgent of, her emotions in the book as we've seen her throughout the trial back in 1995. Credit should be given to her vivid characterization of the players: Judge Lance Ito as a wimp; John Cochran, a demagogue; Chris Darden, a 'model minority'; and of course, Marcia herself, a tough, chivalrous, and yet compassionate professional. Whether these characterizations are truthful or distorted is for the academics; but Marcia's strong personality came through in the book and transports the reader back to the anxieties and fears we all experienced throughout that restless year. It is very amusing, to say the least, that to Marcia the whole world seems to form one big conspiracy against her. The press, the criminalists, the cops, the jurors, the judge, the colleagues, the ex-husband, everybody was terrorizing her life. Then you have the defense team taking every possible cheap shot to upset her plan. One has to wonder if it has ever occurred to Marcia that a real winner in this day and age makes other people play her game, not vice versa. The book adds virtually nothing, except for Marcia's side of her personal life, to what we don't already know. But as she weaves the Rodney King trial into context, readers soon find themselves thinking, 'Ah. White people had it coming. When they acquitted those cops they should have known that what gets around, comes around.' Perhaps the most thought-inspiring thing about the book is Marcia's personal journey through race issues. She claims, for example, to have had no idea of how the black community would react to Mr. Shipp's testimony. Despite her attempt at being open-minded, what she lacks is not the right attitude, but the fundamental understanding of the sufferings of minorities. The views in the book, just like all other books about the trial, might be unsurprisingly 'biased' or selective. But it's great for those who aren't seeking to validate their own opinions or to beat a dead horse. After all, remember, after the trial Marcia has nothing left to lose. The trial is over, and history becomes story-telling. Marcia's own imperfections leave us reflecting on what we've learned from all of this.
