I could not continue to read of how Marilyn was so degraded by the Hollywood system and I know that there was to be no happy ending.This is not the fault of Joyce Carol Oates; she wrote as she found. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Truer than fact *by W***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2010* This book - fiction, not fact - seemed truer to me, or closer to capturing the spirit of Marilyn Monroe than the couple of biographies I've read.Characters from Monroe's "real" life are included or left out or amalgamated or recreated in various ways in order to intensify observations about her fragility and vulnerabilities and her need to please the men in her life and live up to her created image.What I found really remarkable and moving was the "voice" of Monroe that came through so strongly, and her confusion and the ever-increasing speed of her descent into the maelstrom of star-status or icon-status, and her helplessness as the current of need etc. tugged her down, however hard she tried to resist.There was one minor stylistic idiosyncrasy that irritated me, and that was the way that, towards the end of the book the word "and" is sometimes expressed as "and" and sometimes as "&". I couldn't understand that, and there seemed to be no logic or sense in the variation which did not belong to one character or narrator, but just jumped around in a distracting way.But that apart, this is a five star book for me, an imaginative triumph,very movingly so, and reminding us (in a similar way to Don Delillo's "Libra") that fiction can be truer than fact. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/50004399-blonde-the-classic-novel-about-marilyn-monroe-now-a-major](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/50004399-blonde-the-classic-novel-about-marilyn-monroe-now-a-major) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
