3.0 out of 5 stars lovely format and substantial text, June 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Marilyn Monroe (Hardcover)

This book is a wonderful item for beginner Marilyn zealots,as well as the avid Marilyn fan and collector. It does however make a common mistake of focusing on the more tragic elements of her life.Maybe this is what the majority finds most intriguing, but Marilyn was an extremely warm, loving and spirited woman as well. She had an incredible way with a comic line in her movies,and her quotes themselves reveal a clever wit and an intellegent,keenly observant person. Perhaps those who wish to find a more rounded,human look at this complex personality should look to the more detailed biographies. All in all though,with pleasing photos,charming Marilyn quotes every other page,and text which provides a brief, informing look at Marilyn's life and career, this book is a nice addition to any collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little book with one minus~, August 28, 2001

This review is from: Marilyn Monroe (Hardcover)

I agree that it is cute, because it is so little. But the thing, that I don't like about it, is, that the author starts this book with words, that Marilyn 'died of a drug overdose'. Later, author admits, that noone knows the right reason. For me, that is a bad book beginning. Good is, that at the end you can read all films, where Marilyn has played. And there are some nice pictures in the book. After all, this book is a great present for all Marilyn's fans!
