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.

Though reconciliation did ...

"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."
