Book Reviews of Life After Johnnie Cochran: Why I Left the Sweetest-Talking, Most Successful Black Lawyer in L.A.
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 4 Stars
It is clear to me that the reviewer who wrote 3 negative reviews and then published the same review three separate times so as to give the book a negative star rating did not read the same book that I did. Clearly, whoever wrote this review has some personal beef against the author and chose to take it out on her in this forum rather than give an unbiased review of the book. For example, the author never stated that she was "chronic"ally abused. Rather, she said that he hit her on 3 separate occassions. I think most women would agree that being hit 1 time by a man is 1 time too many. Second, "if . . . Johnnie was fighting this woman to stay out of his life," then why did he keep begging her to come home, and why was she the one to actually file for divorce after more than a decade of marriage? Third, if it was actually true that she was just using Johnnie for his money, then she would have stayed with him because she was much better financially off with him than without him. Fourth, I never read in this book that her daughter wanted her to go back with Johnnie. Fifth, she didn't divorce him just because he was "with a 'white' woman." Rather, he was emotionally, verbally and physically abusive and ran around on her with multiple women throughout their marriage. Sixth, she clearly didn't leave him because of his cut in pay because she stayed with him throughout that time period. He had left the DA's office and reopened private practice for a number of years when she left him. Finally, I would add that the book was very poorly edited by the publishing company. There are numberous spelling and gramatically errors throughout it which is the reason for my 4 star rating.
