I originally got interested in this book because of some fascination with the life and troubles of Marylin Monroe. Bought the book (in portuguese) but never got to read it. It rested on my shelf until I found the movie "Blonde", by Andrew Dominik. I was struck by the movie's ethereal and complex view of the character and decided it was time to read the book, only to find out that the movie was a very faithful transposition of the complexity of Marilyn in the book. Then I saw the movie again to notice a lot of details and connections that I had not noticed before. To sum up: an excelent book and an excelent movie that depict a fascinating and complex Marilyn Monroe. Highly recommended, espcially for those who crave complex biographies (like me)
