With flying cars and time travel, it reminded me of Back to the Future but Jeremiah Gold is a lot smarter than Marty McFly. It is clear that Jeremiah is different, he's a clever guy and is miles ahead of his compatriots in 2062. When his mother dies he vows to fulfil her wish of going back in time to save Marilyn Monroe from her premature death. Alexander Rigby has paid fantastic homage to Marilyn as she felt very true to life, not that I can confirm this having not met her of course. It begged the question as to whether you could really go back and change events in history. Could one small change have a cataclysmic effect?
Life in 2062, apart from the flying cars, seemed very similar to today; people have the same thoughts, feelings and insecurities. I don't think I will be still alive in 2062 but I hope some of Alexander Rigby's ideas come true. I loved the idea of going to a dance or disco and putting in earphones to listen to the music - I could completely visualise people swaying to a silent beat. I'm not so sure about cloning yourself to cure your ills though, but if that did come to pass then maybe I will still be around in 2062!
What Happened to Marilyn is certainly something a little bit different. Don't be put off by not reading sci-fi, there are no space ships or aliens in here! It's a must read for any Marilyn Monroe fan and for anyone looking to read something a bit out of the ordinary. I certainly enjoyed it.
