AL PACINO MEMOIR I REPEAT AL PACINO MEMOIR!!!!
This was such a great book to listen to, not only because Pacino narrates it himself, but because of the way he does it, the things he emphasises, it feels like you're in the room with him as he's telling you his life story.
He covers everything from his childhood to his acting adventures, his friendships and family, some health issues that come with age and his struggles with alcoholism, all with a dose of humour.
After finishing this, I now think the perfect age to write a memoir is when you're in your 80s. The way Pacino reflects on his life would be different if he was younger, but now it's "just right". I can't really explain, you'll get it when you read it though.
I also want to go rewatch all of his movies that I have seen, and watch the ones I haven't for the first time.
I truly feel like I got to know Al Pacino while listening to this, and I'd love to read it again and again, so I'll be getting a physical copy ASAP. If this is your first time reading it, definitely get the audiobook, and thank me later.
