I have the 1976 book, The description on the inside cover says ' This is undoubtedly the best book ever written about Marilyn'. Well this is the publishers view or they think it is which it certainly isnt. I am an avid MM fan and have read lots of books about her and thought this would be different and from a different perspective. I think its more the way its written than the content but i didn't enjoy the reading and wouldn't particularly recommend it.

Even better and more inspiring than the movie. What a great man! Except that you miss the music. I guess you could play it while you read:)
