"This is a wild, joyous book, but also a heartbreaking one. In some ways, friendships between men can be more fragile than those between women, something Lewis grasps intuitively. What kind of guy laughs when you upstage his crooning with a piece of raw meat on a fork? Whoever he is, you'd better hang onto him: he's probably the best friend you'll ever have."
--Stephanie Zacharek," The New York Times
"They were the unlikeliest of pairs -- a handsome crooner and a skinny monkey, an Italian from Steubenville, Ohio, and a Jew from Newark. But from the moment they got together, something clicked -- something miraculous -- and audiences saw it at once. Martin and Lewis were a national craze--an American institution. Then on July 25, 1956, ten years to the day after the two men joined forces, it all ended. Their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as each man's heart.
"A perceptive and entertaining showbiz memoir that should become a classic of its kind . . ."
--Bruce Handy, "Vanity Fair
