Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve always had the hots for Al Pacino, so spending time with him via his memoir was a real treat. ☺️ You get to meet the incorrigible kid, the deeply passionate thespian & the self-reflective guy behind all those iconic movie characters. Al speaks fondly of his boyhood friends, mentors, fellow actors & his many loves who are still friends, and he‘s simply charming and quite funny! I did get to see him in a play on Broadway in ‘77: Ooh la la!

Good biography. He created one of the greatest characters in television history and an ignominious ending of a career. He addresses it all. Some good stories mixed in.

I love the body positivity and the relatability of Solomon‘s characters. This was a quick, fun read with realistic mental health representation.

It's like sitting down to afternoon tea with Moore & having him regale you with Hollywood gossip. Funny, self-deprecating, & ever -so-slightly ribald, he must have been a riot at dinner parties. Featuring stories about (but not limited to) Michael Caine, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, & Cubby Broccoli, this is an undemanding & humorous read. 4🌟

I can say I listened to the audiobook from start to finish, but I can't say I absorbed all of it. When I was paying attention, Pacino's voice and his recounting of days gone by was on the whole a charming experience, but I found it very easy to drift off to other thoughts in the process. 1/

This guy, and his wonderful stories!

I realize that most average humans don‘t read 5 books a YEAR, but this was a low month for me. Such is life working in greeting cards when Christmas is coming. 😴
