I will be showing my age when I note that as I listened to Al Pacino's memoir I thought 'he sounds like Jimmy Durante.'. Maybe it's a New York cadence thing. But Al--if I may be so familiar--kinda sorta tells the story of his life. Sometimes he barely mentions the mothers of his children or even the children themselves but maybe he doesn't want to have an awkward thanksgiving dinner. So it's not a complete picture but it's still a must for any movie fan. There could be a little more on our favorite movie but it's still enlightening and entertaining. I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall or a jamoke at the table when he sat down to have dinner with Marlon Brando. So read it, buy it he might need the money since he can't balance a check book

Very touching, simply told and completely engaging and gives one hope that people might rise up to their better selves despite the base behaviors of those who wish to maintain their power through brutality and lies. Love might not conquer all but it has a good chance
