Marilyn Monroe: The Biography Audiobook

" Finally done. *takes a deep breath* NOt a fan of biographies so this took me longer than I would have liked but it wasn't all bad... "

" I'm being generous by giving this book a full star!! I don't usually put a book down halfway through, but this book was so dry & dull, I couldn't finish it. "

" Riveting book and factual too. It went into a lot of detail about co-stars lives which was unnecessary but overall eye opening. "

" Very sad life. The book went overly into minute background details of every person in Marilyn's life so it dragged a little. "

" The only book that ever made me cry. It was soooo good! "

" A book depicting the complete life of Marilyn Monroe, with bits of information of the people associated with her that dragged the story a little bit, took me few weeks to finish in between going to work and on my nights off. Revealing the truth of how she really died. But sometime while reading the book, i kind of hated her. I hated her for being a dupe! She allowed some people around her to use her fame and allowed herself to succumb to a deadly habit that ended up taking her life away without having to reflect what it's going to do to her health. But then, i still liked her. She was generous and full of compassion. She hates seeing people miserable, when she has little or more than enough to give, she helps the poor and needy, she was easy to reach out to people who needs comfort. Sadly, at the end of the story her life ended very untimely, she could have achieved more. "

" This biography is VERY in depth. Maybe a little too much for me. "

" absolutely boring and difficult to read. could not finish the book!!! "

" Really good and informative biography on Marilyn Monroe. Clears up lots of rumors and myths about her life. Very detailed account of her very controversial death. Really enjoyed this book, although it was LONG and heavy and took me forever to read. "

" Very interesting. Wonder how much is correct, seems believable. Bit too long and detailed. "

" Donald Spoto is an excellent biographer, very thorough. "

" Very detailed, sometimes extremely slow. But overall a great read and a tragically beautiful story about Marilyn Monroe. Good summer read for all you biography lovers! "

" Spoto reveals her vulnerability, her artistry, & her humanity. Plus, her Autopsy details are revealed, which add a twist to Marilyn's death... "

" LEARNED ALOT FROM THIS BOOK ABOUT MY FAVORITE ICON. "

" Read this because I saw My Week with Marilyn. This is a very complete book but the writer is not terribly talented-lots of odd sentences, awkward and very static writing. But I did get a fuller picture of Marilyn. "

" One of the best biographies on Marilyn Monroe available!!! Highly recommended. "

" If you love Marilyn Monroe this is the biography to read. "

" very in depth book that explores Monroe's career from the age of 16 to her death. Lots of interviews and theories. "

" Before I begin, I think I should point out that I didn't know much about Marilyn Monroe before reading this biography. Although, at times, I felt as though I were reading a textbook, I found Spoto's biography of Marilyn Monroe to be honest, thorough, and (mostly) objective. "

" Donald Spoto really brought out Marilyn's personality. I could not put this book down. It is lengthy but ever-so worth it. "

" All anyone needs to say about this is that it is one of the top 3 most reliable books about Monroe. No biography will be perfect but around 95% is relatively accurate, so if you want to learn about Monroe, this is the perfect book. "

" liked the bio of her i do not usually read bios but she is very interesting "

" I could not get into this book at all. Very disappointing. "

" This is very well researched and eliminates many of the myths while it creates new ones. The photos are unusual and I think the author could have chosen better. "
