Book Reviews of Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter's Eyes
Book Review: Like father
Summary: 4 Stars
Deanna Martin does a pretty good job in this book (ostensibly about her father), treading a thin line between over-gushing, misty-eyed sentimentality and a condemnation of his womanising and lack of parental concern. What comes accross is that she loved her father a great deal but probably didn't like him very much.
A lot is left untold here and a lot glossed over as it comes from the child's perspective and from that point of view maybe this should be an autobiography of Deanna Martin and not a biography of Dean.
There are several asides and intimations which are never truly explored - like the week-long affair she had with Robert Mitchum; like the house she sold for her step-mother with unfortuante results (which are never gone into - and enquiring minds want to know!)
However all in all this is a good read - but if you are an ardent Dean Martin fan you may now like what you find out about him.
