Review:
“Celebrity gossip aficionados will thoroughly enjoy Heymann’s well-researched yet approachable style...impressively intimate...as entertaining as it is informative.” (Publishers Weekly, Starred review)
“The author’s approach is frank but fair to all parties...recommended for movie and popular biography buffs.” (Library Journal)
“Maestro C. David Heymann...succeeds in providing a richly intimate portrait of the couple...extensively researched but never dry in its retelling, this book is every celebrity aficionado’s dream. There’s no doubt it should grace the top of your beach bag as you hit the sands this July.” (Hampton Sheet Magazine)
“In the beginning chapters, DiMaggio is described as petty, mean and inconsistent. But later, and contrary to more contemporary bios, Heymann refers to him as a kinder, gentler soul, heartbroken to realize he did not enjoy her favors exclusively, which led to the verbal and occasionally physical abuse. Despite these conflicts,DiMaggio was always there for Marilyn, which is what makes this love story so compelling, even 50 years after her death.” (BookReporter)
"An excellently-heartbreaking love story, a juicy gossip piece, a slice of culture, and sports – all rolled into one. And if you’re a fan of those, of DiMaggio, Monroe,or Hollywood of yore, then “Joe and Marilyn” is a book you really can’t be without." (Terri Schlichenmeyer The Bookworm Sez)
