Mister Ed and Me

Summary: Wonderful account that brings tears to your eyes
Review: Alan Young, who played Wilbur in the TV series, recounts his years alongside Mister Ed with such passion and light hearted humour that this is my all-time favourite book. It's a wonderful read that brings tears to your eyes. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed this fabulous 60s TV show.

Summary: More like "My Ego and Me"
Review: I got "Mister Ed and Me" when I was a little kid because I used to love watching the show on Nick-at-Nite. Well, unfortunately, I was disappointed.

For one, the front cover of this book is a huge false advertisement. Most of this book is Alan Young talking about his whole life. In fact, half this book is. I dare say even three quarters. I remember skimming through, continually finding Alan Young bragging about what he did at this stage in his life. You may say, "Well its written by Alan Young." That's great, but he shouldn't have called it "Mister Ed and Me" if he was only going to talk about his co-star as an afterthought. I might add contrary to what the book cover boasts there is no episode guide. I remember going page-per-page looking for at least one listing of an episode - nope! Many other special features - in fact all special features dealing with Mister Ed - do not exist.

The parts involving Mister Ed were funny and interesting (especially the part where Mister Ed's voice actor threw his voice on the horse when kids were around). And yeah, sure, it was sad to read about the horse dying...but all this doesn't make up for the fact that Mister Ed is barely most of the book. If you are a Mister Ed fan, I would actually steer you away from this. Trust me, it's not as interesting as you might think.

Summary: A charming and well-written book
Review: I loved every minute of Mister Ed and Me. It was wonderful to learn about the people who were involved in the Mister Ed series, and Mr. Young tells his story about how he came to know Mister Ed in a very charming way.

Summary: HORSE LOVERS - A MUST BUY!
Review: I loved this BOOK! I remember watching "Mr. Ed" as a young child when it first came out in the 60's & now in reruns on "TV Land". I oftened wondered how the horse was treated while on the set but after reading this book all of my worries were put to rest. He truely was treated like the star he was. I would recommend this book to anyone who love the show or is just a horse lover in general. I am also glad to see that Alan Young was able to do the things he loved even after the show had ended.

Summary: Excellent book and "ED"ucational!
Review: I read the review by A. A. Cucolo and felt I had to write a rebuttal. I first read this book after checking it out of the library and I so enjoyed the story of Alan Young and Mister Ed that I purchased a personalized copy and later bought someone else a copy.

We both feel the book is true to the title explaining how Alan Young came to work with the horse, of course! It is a thoughtful and insightful look behind the scenes with the people who brought us such a delightful TV show.

Instead of steering you away from the book we suggest you gallop right out, buy a copy and enjoy the ride.

Summary: Mister Ed and Me--a funny, charming, rereadable treat!
Review: I really loved this book! Having read it 6 or 7 times now, it doesn't lose its' charm or wit. Mr. Young retraces his career from his early days in radio, through the Mister Ed "hay days" and touches briefly on his cartoon voiceovers, most notably that of Scrooge McDuck. His writing style is quite entertaining, and the narrative is hilarious, and touching.
