Summary: pure lack of intellect and judgement
Review: I don't know how someone could be so naive and promiscuous to beleive that OJ is a good man. Before reading this book, i read the 'reader reviews' to see what others thought of it. I read how bad this book was, but i was curious as to how naive this woman really was, i loaned the book from the local library. Even with the heads up from the reviews as to how much this book was lacking, i was still shocked at its content. i could not bring myself to read the rest of the book, therefore i only read the first half. so if the second half makes up for the first half's pure lack of thought, i give Paula credit for writing a good book...on second thought, even if the second half of the book made up for the first half, i still would not give her any credit for writing this...literature..if you can call it that. she didn't lose money from all of this, (as much as i would like to think this is not true) she earned 3 million dollars from it. if i were in Ms. Barbieri's shoes, i know one thing i would do is take my $3million, buy a private island and keep as far away from civilization as possible, to avoid any further humiliation from the public. and i would burn any of these books i owned to keep warm on my island, thats about the best use they have.

Summary: Give Paula A Break
Review: I had to quit halfway through the book, it was so ridiculous. Is she promiscuous and naive or is it just me??? And how MUCH can you really go on believing that sweet Mr. Simpson is innocent? Get a clue, but more importantly, Ms. Barbieri, GET A LIFE!!!

Summary: Thank you Paula Barbieri!
Review: 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.

Summary: No remorse except for herself
Review: This book is amazingly poorly written; Ms. Barbieri should have pursued her original plans to attend law school. Her writing perpetuates the myth that models and actresses are extremely self-centered. Never once does she mention any sorrow or remorse that a woman and man were murdered. Her pity is all for herself and how she "gave herself up" to falsely defend her lover and, in effect, to commit "perjury by silence and presence." Although it's true that nobody asked her if she'd left a "Dear OJ" e-mail on Simpson's voice mail just before she flew off to meet another man, she knew that this was crucial evidence. She also explains why she lied under oath about whether or not O.J. had ever been violent with her; she had "amnesia." What the book does provide--and that's why I read it--is a glance into the ultimate in dependency. I've always wondered why horrible killers, such as Ted Bundy, manage to attract women even after the world is pretty aware of what they've done. Paula Barbieri's book illustrates the strange magnetism that sociopaths can have when they find the right victim(s).

Summary: Re-Inventing the Past + Sins of Omission
Review: To believe that Paula could ever tell any truth except for the way she perceives it and uses it for her own benefit is ludicrous. The omissions of the physical abuse and trips to the hosital have conveniently been left out. And, in order to move on, she has left all the people who not only supported her emotionally but financially and truly believes that she alone created her 3 million dollar fee for this book.
