The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe

De: Donald H Wolfe

Narrado por: William Atherton, Alyssa Bresnahan

In such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Seven Year Itch, Marilyn Monroe enchanted and captivated the world. Sixty years after her death, devotion to the pop culture icon is as strong as ever, and the truth about her mysterious death continues to fascinate fans and experts alike. With explosive revelations concerning the "National Security Matter" that led to the cover-up of her murder, The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe provides a fascinating and riveting account of one of the most shocking crimes of the century. Drawing on CIA and FBI files that document Marilyn's relationship with the Kennedys, her break-up with the president, and the bizarre events that took place at her home the day she died, Donald H. Wolfe meticulously chronicles Marilyn's final days, names her killer, and identifies those who orchestrated the cover-up.

EXTREMELY well written...

I knew very little about the life of Marilyn Monroe, only the basics, I was pleasantly surprised to learn not just about her final days but also her early life as well. The writer makes a compelling case that she was in fact murdered and undeniable there was a coverup of the truth. Turns out she was too big of threat to men like JFK, Bobby Kennedy and J Edgar Hoover....

PLEASE PUT UP THE NON-ABRIDGED

Great...If after listening to this book you still believe the Marilyn Monroe died at her own hand DON'T!!! If what Donald H. Wolfe said is correct, Ms. Monroe was MURDERED!!! We will never know for sure because of all the cover-ups during the period of my growing up. I love this short but informative book on Marilyn Monroe. I never have been a big fan of hers; however, it did not matter to me. WHAT A WONDERFUL LISTEN...INTRIGUE...MURDER...AND CAPTIVATING. The price is right as well. Give THE LAST DAYS OF MARILYN MONROE a listen...You won't be sorry.

Intriguing!

I have never had much of interest in Marilyn Monroe but that was because I didn't know much about her. She is such a fascinating person and this book about her life is enthralling. I love hearing everything about her life. Great book!

This book is hard to review for me because I am not sure how much we can believe or know is true based on the books and it's research and or evidence

Pretty good listen

I enjoyed learning about Monroe's upbringing. It is a quick listen and easy to stay focused.

Very informative

This book is well-written and very informative

We get some good insight into with whom Miss Monroe interacted before her death as well as we receive some knowledge to who might have been interested in her death

A great book - I like it

Highly recommended....

...but where is the unabridged version? If this book was only allotted 3 hours, the almost one-third of the book spent on basic biographic information should have been eliminated in place of greater detail in the 'last days' of Marilyn. Still, this is a truly fascinating read.

"I thought it quite good"

I liked that the author was not forming a bias view and did not push personal beliefs on the reader. Rather, I found it to be quite factual and relying on the record statements and accounts known to be true and not speculated.

Beautiful but sad story

Loved this book! Marilyn Monroe will continue to be the icon no matter who tells the story!
