sparklesandnargles's review against another edition

A fictional account of Marilyn Monroe's last days. It's almost real, in some ways, except for the fact that some details are too fictional to behold. Case in point: The afternoon of August 4, 1962--the afternoon before Marilyn died, because the meeting with Lawrence Schiller wasn't even mentioned, and some stuff like that.
It's a dark, gripping look at the life of one of celluloid's biggest and most tragic stars, and how psychoanalysis helped, and ruined her. It also talks about Marilyn's alleged "affair" with her last analyst, Ralph Greenson, and the audio tapes she was said to have left behind. Mafia stuff are discussed. The Kennedys are discussed. It makes you think more about Marilyn and how she really could've been. Who she really was.
You'll feel more for her, and think about what's real, and what's not.
P.S. Of course I read the English version.

Hasta qué punto la imagen puede opacar la esencia de una persona. Norma Jeane no dejó de existir al surgir Marilyn... sólamente se escondió. Y esta división en su persona acabó por romperla.
