In this book Norman Mailer looks at the life of Marilyn Monroe, from her days in the orphanage and through her career in Hollywood, including her last movie, "The Misfits." But even more than the story of Marilyn are the many photos of her included in the book, this is what captures the reader's attention, the beautiful, sexy and often touching images of a fallen star.
However, the small format of this little paperback version really doesn't do justice to the pictures, which are grainy and of pretty poor quality.
