Interesting. He performs the audio book, so I suggest you listen to it.
I listened to this audio and five stars is quite honestly not enough. Billy Crystal is an amazing storyteller and the story he is telling is his life. You laugh, you cry, it's heartrendingly poignant and beautiful. I highly recommend listening to this fabulous memoir.
This was a solid 4+ stars. Audio version is a must, read by author.
The book opened with a reading of an essay on aging, to a live audience. The jokes were a little tired, and I thought about putting the book down, but that would have been a mistake.
The remainder of the book is filled with fascinating anecdotes from a life well lived. Crystal details his unlikely friendships with the likes of Muhammad Ali and Mickey Mantle, and his brushes with presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
He recounts opportunities he passed up so that he could maintain a sane existence with his wife, daughters and eventually grandkids. He comes across as a surprisingly down-to-earth guy, whose humor and perspective have seen him through personal loss, and endeared him to a generation.

I chose to listen to the audiobook for this memoir and I’m glad I did! It was like a free ticket to hrs of Crystal’s stand up with a good dose of biography and experience in the biz mixed in. Loved it.
When I picked this up, I expected a funny book. It wasn't as humorous as I thought, but it was an enjoyable story about Billy Crystal's life. It was interesting to learn about how he ended up in the roles he did, what got him there, and just his life in general.
