Book Reviews of Inside Marilyn Monroe

Book Review: A Different View on MM
Summary: 4 Stars

Rather than this being the typical biography and rehashing the same old stuff that any Monroe fan knows backwards, the author does give a new, fresh and insightful look at the life of Marilyn Monroe. Straying from the sensational and wild claims of other authors, Inside Marilyn Monroe is more of an essay book, nonetheless very well written.

One of the pleasant aspects in reading this book is that author John Gilmore, who knew Marilyn Monroe, doesn't claim (as so many other authors have) to have been the love of her life; her best friend; that Monroe couldn't live without him; that he was the whole focus of her life; the he was the only one she trusted; or that he was her savior.

The book does offer an array of very rare pictures, unfortunately a lot are small and blurry. As with most books written on celebrities, the reader should decide on whether to take its face value upfront on what they read. Personally, I really liked this book for its originality and insight.
