Ugh.
This is a fine book. But this is so not a true crime thriller. It is a biography. And as someone who's read a LOT of Marilyn Monroe Biographies, this isn't adding anything that hasn't already been said. Oh sure, we know she knew who her father was now. We've known since that documentary.
What else? 150 pages in, and I know all this already. What does this book add on discussions about Marilyn? Just air.

If I wanted to read Marilyn Monroe quotes I would reread her autobiography.
