There are many wonderful and interesting books on Marilyn Monroe out there,including in ( ),so why pick this one?It is not particularly good at all.It talks about Marilyn's many relationships,affairs,marriages and stripping in a bar for 20 dollars.There is not much of interest and even the writing is not particularly fantastic.I read it because I like marilyn,but really this one is just pages of uninteresting drivel.

I bought this cheap on ebay. When I saw it was dedicated to Bob Slatzer I knew it wouldn't be good. It relies heavily on his stories about diaries and press conferences about the Kennedys. Author tells about Marilyn sitting in a particular bar and going to hotel rooms with strangers, making 15 bucks to strip for them. I don't think anyone knows if she did this or not, so why print it as fact? Slatzer claims his evidence of murder was that there was glass on the outside of her bedroom window when the glass was supposedly broken from the outside. I promise that if I were to break a window, there would be some glass on my side. Marilyn probably died from an accidental overdose. She may have been moved after death and no doubt Fox raided her place. For those unfamiliar, Slatzer claims he married her while she was dating DiMaggio, and the studios made her annull it, and conveniently the marriage/divorce was in Mexico and records destroyed. Most people don't take him seriously. I would not recommend this as reliable, esp if you're not familiar with MM.
