This is a fiction, based on biography story about Marilyn Monroe. I have never really known much about her so was interested in learning more. My first problem was Joyce Carol Oates. I have read her before and absolutely hated it, but that was awhile ago and I thought why not give her one more chance. Well that was the worst decision... she writes so much and so repetetively that anything she is trying to say gets lost in the words and descriptions. Beyond just her writing I am not too happy because I really don't know what she made up/exxagerated about Monroe because some things just seemed so insanely crazy that I had a hard time believing she was really that bad. Overall I did not like the book, but I am still interested in Marilyn Monroe and will be looking for another biography soon.

I don't think this is a very good recommendation! I wonder if I've ever read any JCO before .... I am almost thinking I read this book. See, if I had been logging all my books I'd know for sure!
