About this title: Jerry Lewis's intensely personal, revealing Valentine to Dean Martin is chronicled in this deeply sad, moving, but, above all, humorous story of the joys and complications in the famous 10-year-long Martin and Lewis partnership. Written with journalist James Kaplan, Lewis opens his spellbinding trip down memory lane with the pair's first encounter in 1945, on Broadway in the heart of New York City, and moves on to remember their 16 extraordinarily successful films and many hilarious night club and TV acts, until a fateful day in July 1956 when everything fell apart. Though reconciliation did ...

"They were the unlikeliest of pairs-a handsome crooner and a skinny monkey, an Italian from Steubenville, Ohio, and a Jew from Newark, NJ. Before they teamed up, Dean Martin seemed destined for a mediocre career as a nightclub singer, and Jerry Lewis was dressing up as Carmen Miranda and miming records on stage. But ... read more

"Certainly an eye opener! A no-holds-barred look at the performing life of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. I loved them as a kid and reading this book, though shocking, gave me a chance to reconnect. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely for ultimate fans of Dean and Jerry!"
"It's subtitled: "A love story" and that it definitely is. But Lewis's ego gets in the way about 2/3 of the way through ... as the strain in their original partnership has to be explained. Still it's a very good book."
"I read this book because I was always curious about this pair and did not really know why they broke up. This is certainly Jerry's point of view, but isn't that the point of the book. I am not sure their break up is all the sad but it is sad that they could not do it as friends."
"I'm a newbie to "GoodReads" and so far I'm liking it! I have just completed this one for the second go-a-round and find it to be a happy, kinda sad, Jerry Lewis funny! And for the second time, it is even better. I also like the title, Dean and Me, A Love Story. Because it is indeed that. And it let's you know that it is possible to start over and succeed in any kind of a relationship."
