My Story by Marilyn Monroe

5.0

This is a beautiful book. If you want to read about Marilyn for Marilyn's sake then I couldn't recommend another book. Basically what we get here is a glossing over of Marilyn's story from her childhood to her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. Don't expect anything in depth. We get a nice summary of Marilyn's life, little more, but what better way is there of retaining the mystique? A wonderful, beautiful taste of Hollywood glamor without ever becoming cliched or stereotypical.

As a relatively new Marilyn fan, this seemed like the best place to start. The text is interspersed with beautiful photos of the woman herself. If you're a Marilyn fan, this book is a must have!
