Rating:  Summary: Is this REALLY her best friend?? Review: As I was reading this book, my mine kept constantly wondering if this was a book honoring Resnick's "best friend", or a venue for Resnick to try and cash in on the sensationalism of the entire unfortunate situation. Resnick brags way too much in the book on herself----like who is reading the book to find out about her supposedly-opulent lifestyle or how many villas she owns and where,on and on... Also, as a best friend-I can't imagine revealing (if true)the absolute defamation of Nicole and her ..quirks for black men, or the lesbian relationship (once) with Resnick, the "doing" ...with just-met strangers;from the book one would think they stayed in bars most of the time (who was watching the children?-Kato?). I think I would be appalled if my daughter's best friend wrote this book about my murdered (or living) daughter. This should definitely have been a tribute written in better taste! The underlying message regarding abuse could have been valuable. True best friends simply don't "spill" everything they know (for profit?).
Rating:  Summary: Decent memoir from another point of view. Review: Faye Resnick writes abotu her friend Nicole Brown Simpson's murder and explains why she feels that OJ Simpson is guilty of her murder. It doesn't delve in depth into the relationship she had with Nicole not is it in depth with Nicole's with OJ.The book itself sounds like a court testimony. Not that that's bad. Just go into reading this book knowing that.
Rating:  Summary: Some friend........... Review: Faye Resnick, I'm so glad you are NOT my friend. I got this book from the library. Thank goodness I didn't spend my hard earned money on it. Faye doesn't deserve a cent for writing this kind of trash about her "best" friend. I truly believe that O.J. did indeed kill Nicole and Ron Goldman, but thanks to Faye Resnick, my opinion of Nicole has taken a turn for the worse. This does not mean that I think she deserved what happened to her, but it does lead me to believe that she was at least partly responsible for what happened to her by the way that she kept playing mind games with O.J. In Faye's own words she said that O.J. had finally given up on his relationship with Nicole and was happy in a relationship with Paula Barbieri. He wasn't calling Nicole, and he was only talking to her if it concerned the children. When Nicole discovered that O.J. wasn't chasing after her anymore she decided that she wanted to reconcile. She then went on to tell him every man she had been with since they had been divorced and what they had done together and she even went so far as to get involved with one of his closest friends, Marcus Allen. Faye said that Nicole thought that fooling around outside your marriage was the lowest thing you could do, and she never fooled around while she was married to O.J., yet after her divorce from O.J., Nicole saw nothing wrong with going after men who were engaged to other women. She even snuck into one of these men's bed while he was sleeping and performed oral sex on him. She and all her friends referred this little episode as "The Brentwood Hello". I'm afraid her own actions may have led to her sad "Brentwood Goodbye" and I am sickend by the fact that Ron Goldman happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He would be alive today if he hadn't of had the misfortune of meeting Nicole Brown Simpson and my heart goes out to his family and also to Nicoles children. The whole book is trashy. It is also written so out of sequence that you find yourself having to flip back chapters and check dates just to keep up with things. Faye did Nicole no favors by writing this book. She did it for the money, plain and simple. Faye Resnick is a leech. She slept her way up the Beverly Hills ladder and took all she could get from anyone willing to give it to her. Her claims of being a good mother and a great friend leave me nauseaous. People, if you feel you must read this book, go to the library, don't give this greedy woman a dime of your money.
Rating:  Summary: Painfully truthful Review: I despise people who trash this book, saying that Faye must not have been a friend to Nicole by writing such a book. Let me tell you: they are wrong! Faye was not violating secrecy and friendship by writing this; she was exposing the horrors and tragedies Nicole faced, and even more, warning women of today. By writng this, Nicole's best friend helped women by sharing a story filled with suffering. I believe this was a noble act of love for this woman to help others with her friend's own experience.
Rating:  Summary: She is a nobody!!!! Review: I read this book, from the librbay, and it is quite infuriating... Firstly, Resnik lists her occupation is "socialite"????? Give me a break!!!!! Her whole claim to fame is name dropping... (and,this is her only claim to fame...) When you read this book you realize how fake and pretnetious people like Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, Faye Resnik, and Nicole and O.J. Simpson really are/were. Its almost as though Resnik was more upset about Nicole's death because ahe lost her "link" to the "inner circle". I also think that the things she wrote about Nicole were SOOOO disrespectful, not only to Nicole, but especially to Nicole's childre, I cant imagine them reading such awful things about their murdered mother, Didnt they go through enough??.... There are extremely private things that Faye discusses about Nicole that are so cold and hurtful (if they are even true) I cant imagine that this was Nicole's best friend. If she cared anything for Nicole she would have kept her collagen-enhanced mouth shut. She is a brat, she has done NOTHING worthwhile for this country, her "best frined" or those poor children that she left behind.., I can not believe that the publishing co. allowed her to write such trash about a person that was brutally murdered. With a friend like this, who needs enemies? Believe me

Rating:  Summary: what the (bleep)? Review: I thought this book would be a chronical of Nicole and OJ's relationship from the get-go, and how things eventually devolved to the sad state they were in at the end, but instead, it focused more on Faye Resnick's scatterbrained rantings about restaurants, clubs, sexual partners, vacations, and utterly soulless, vapid "friendships"...all provided in non-chronological order! There was relatively little information about the relationship between the famous couple: strange in a book that purports to be about that very subject. I feel sorry for Faye and Nicole, because I come away from reading this disjointed, rambling, bizarre account of seemingly disconnected events with the impression that both of them were seriously emotionally damaged women. So at least that was conveyed well.
Rating:  Summary: what the (bleep)? Review: Poor Faye Resnick. I really feel sorry for this lady. It must be a hard life, being a Beaverly Hills socialite. At what restaurant do we eat? Who do we have affairs with? Can we go to Cabo San Lucos next week? Such are the mighty questions Faye asks in her book. All that stress must have forced the breakdown of her marriages and the cocaine and alcohol habits. As the previous reviewers have already noted, there is not much sympathy for this kind of lifestyle. I read this book for the simple fact of gaining some insight into Nicole's husband. O.J. is indeed a great actor. His facade has masked what he really is. In this, the book suceeds in giving some glimpses of a very troubled person. At the same time, it gives a poor view of the lifestyles of the rich and idle.

Rating:  Summary: The true Nicole view by one of her best friend. Review: That book is really a heartbreaking story of a womanwo enjoy life so much, was a happy single mum with a lotof spirit, a lot of dreams until...that horrible night of june 12,1994 on 875 South Bundy Drive. Here she his in that book full of loving messages, happy and bad moments that one of her best friend want to tell you. Faye Resnick is that kind of "best friend" Nicole have. They were like sister together in fact, in this book you are able to see how it was difficult for Nicole to concile her life with the limelight that O.J. love so much. You can imagine how happy that woman was when her childreens Sydney and Justin were with her. In fact, that book paint the portrait of an ex-wife of a football superstar who just want, after all, to live like everybody, a simple and healthy life with her family and friends! I can honnesltly tell you that when you finish that book it's not "rare" that tears come into your eyes... May God Bless the late Nicole Brown-Simpson, Faye, her friend for having writting one of the most true great book and who don't want to forget the littlest victims in that case about the loose of their Mommy: A part of the selling of that book will be for the sake and futur of Sydney and Justin Brown-Simpson.
