I went into this read without knowing much about Pacino's life or career. I have obviously seen him in Scarface, but being much older than I am, most of his career occurred prior to my awareness. I borrowed this book in audio format when it came available at the library because I love memoirs that are narrated by the author, particularly celebrities. Pacino has such a unique and well known voice and he did a great job with this book.

I was entertained the whole way through. There was so much that I didn't know about his early life and career, as well as Hollywood tidbits that were fun to learn. Overall, this was a good time. Sometimes celebrity memoirs can feel self aggrandizing or egotistical, but that was not the case here. Pacino came from a difficult background and I ended the book feeling more respect towards him.
