1.0 out of 5 stars If only a rating of zero stars were possible..., May 13, 2007

This review is from: Victim:The Secret Tapes Of Marilyn Monroe (Hardcover)

For the sake of Marilyn's memory- don't bother. The secret tapes constitute a total of maybe 3 pages of this book- the rest is a made up version of what the author believes happened to Marilyn the day she died. The author relies heavily on the book written by Robert Slatzer and is basically rehashing the "red diary" theory over and over again- with very little evidence to boot.

It is sad the lengths people with go to make Marilyn look like a victim and a poor, sad woman with little to live for but the love of a man.

Don't bother with this piece of trash.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of dirt and lies. Marilyn would hate it., June 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Victim: The Secret Tapes of Marilyn Monroe (Hardcover)

To what lengths do people go to make up lies about Monroe? Poor woman. As if she would tape herself and only NOW these tapes have come out and yet nobody has ever seen them.
Why can't people accept the truth that she died because life didn't treat her very well towards the end. Whatever intentional or accidental she died from overdose. No conspiracy or murder. Simple. Yet people tend to disregard truth and buy grossly exgarrated details to make a soap opera out of her life. None of her friends believe she was killed. Not even Dr Englegberg or her first husband, etc. Yet people would rather have her murdered than believe she gave up on her own life.
And those who write books on conspiracy simply want money.
