A review by mrsthrift
My Week With Marilyn by Colin Clark

2.0

This book was broken into three parts - a 'remembered' version of Colin's seven days spent in Marilyn's company, a letter to a friend about the week (basically a shortened version of the preceding section), and the longer, less interesting actual journal of Colin's time working on the movie set of The Prince and the Showgirl, which includes a blatant omission of the seven days spent as Marilyn's companion and a lot of movie set shenanigans, like dating a young girl who works in Wardrobe and dealing with all the drama of egos and film stars.

I thought this book was "just ok" and most of it was actually pretty boring, but it does get an extra star for the completely random, completely unexpected scene where Colin nonchalantly gets a blow job from a gay coworker. I, for one, am shocked that didn't make it into the Michelle Williams movie.
