Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall The book is inscribed by Thomas Noguchi in black pen on the first page. The inscription reads "to Susan Lovell-Affectionately yours, Thomas T. Noguchi M.D. Dec. 15, 1983". The book has some minor surface wear.
I was very hopeful about obtaining this book since I am interested in this field; however, when I read the section about Marilyn Monroe and found several (and I mean several) errors about her life, I wondered how much credibility the author had in general. While I don't doubt that Dr. Noguchi knows his stuff, apparently, he didn't bother to do any research about his patient's real life. For example, Marilyn did not live in a rented house at the time of her death; she had purchased the house. In another portion of her story, he says that she was 5'4". Then, in his autopsy notes, he indicates that she was 5'5". My point is this: if he couldn't get the biography right on his subject, is the rest of the story on each person right as well?
Of course, to each his own, but I expected a book based on fact rather than conjecture or guess or whatever. I found this book to be very disappointing since, now since Marilyn was only the second person he discusses, is anything else that he has to say true or not?
Obviously, feel free to buy the book, but keep in mind that in some cases, the author has no idea what he is talking about - at least in the biographical area.
