Reading a book about Marilyn always feels like coming home to me, but this one was more beautiful than most. The author had a completely different view of her, and isn't afraid to tell it like he saw it. He portrays Marilyn as a fragile and very lonely woman rather than the sex-crazed egomaniac so many authors turn to. Loved that he allowed her to be human. There are also some beautiful photos, and very touching stories. Really wish I could afford the signed and numbered edition! I definitely recommend it. Short book, easy read, so you'll get through it in one sitting.
