I did read or hear in an interview with OJ or his lawyer that OJ did not write the book and at that time, had not read a finished copy. The way a book is ghosted is the person who is ghost interviews the subject to get the facts and then writes the book in the ghosts words except where he quotes the subject exactly. He can do this as the ghost either takes notes or has an audio tape of what the subject tells him. This is done when the subject of the book is not a professional writer or does not have time to write a book. Many autobiographes are ghosted. The subject tells the ghost in everyday language the story and the ghost puts the information in some order and uses literary language. But OJ did not have much if anything to do with the murder part of the book just by reading it you find a change in style and too many errors that OJ would not have made if he had told the story to the ghost.
