The Immortals by Michael Korda
4.0
This book is historical fiction about Marilyn Monroe, Jack Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy, during the time that the alleged affairs happened, up until Marilyn's death.
Marilyn is a fascinating character, and I will chew up any little tidbits about her life. She was so beautiful, but so damaged.
This book covered the period where Marilyn was filming The Misfits, and all the backstage drama about her marriage that was falling apart and her drug use. I went and watched the film because of this book, and I found it so terribly sad to watch her in the role of Roslyn because it just seemed so apt, and so tragic that she was so close to dying.
The book was a massive read, but very well written. It plays up to all of the conspiracy theories, but given that we will probably never know the full truth about these infamous characters, it feels ok to enjoy the story as truth.
Highly recommended for all Marilyn fans.
