Would you try another book written by Norman Mailer or narrated by Jeff Harding?
Not by Norman Mailer. Jeff Harding is normally quite a good reader but even he could not make this book enjoyableWhat could Norman Mailer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
He could have told a clear story about Marylin Monroe instead of the tedious one that he wrote.Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Harding?
Nobody. Jeff Harding is a good reader provided he has a good book to read.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Marilyn: A Biography?
Less psychological tedium and more clear description.Any additional comments?
