Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into this audiobook expecting a glossy, superficial look at Marilyn Monroe's life, but what I got was something far more complex and thought-provoking. Thérèse Plummer's narration is a big part of this – she has a way of conveying the vulnerability and fragility that underlay Monroe's public persona. Casillo's writing is also impressive, weaving together interviews, research, and historical context to create a rich and nuanced portrait of the actress.
