I learned a lot about Marilyn that I didn’t already know which was nice.  However, this book glosses over most of her life.  It makes it feel like she was always happy-go-lucky.  There was nothing about her many marriages, or even her death.  And I think kids might get confused because they mention her first marriage and just say the guy left to work for the marines.  No more closure than that.  I liked this book, but it could have been done better.
