Robotswithpersonality

Mehso-so

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/

Robotswithpersonality 2/? There are sadder, darker moments interwoven, but my overall impression is of an older gentleman reminiscing, recounting for a grandchild all those moments they'd want to hear about him experiencing first hand, the milestones. His mother's influence and loss is clearly a thread throughout the narrative, and as with Richards' biography, I'm left with the impression that this individual loves and admires the craft 4d
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 involved in his profession, that his work has been pivotal, primary, in his life. If you want details, maybe pick up the print version, or make sure you're not distracted or sleepy while listening to audio only. 😅
⚠️mention of mother's suicide attempt, mention of friend experiencing single episode of child abuse/SA, alcoholism

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. 😴

I don‘t think Al Pacino had a ghostwriter and instead penned his own memoir. Which is pretty amazing! On the other hand, it reads like Al Pacino didn‘t have a ghostwriter, and he penned his own memoir. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It‘s not the most well-written book I‘ve ever read. Then again, it isn‘t the worst. So. If you are a fan and want to read Al‘s thoughts on acting and life, pick it up. It‘s a fairly quick read.

Suet624 Probably more fun to listen to? Does he read his own book? 1mo
Amiable @Suet624 Yes, I think he does. I‘m not a big audiobook person, though. But I agree —if you like audiobooks, this would probably be better in that format. 1mo
Suet624 I can do memoirs and nonfiction on audio. Fiction, not so much. 1mo

A Five Star rating for Sonny Boy by Al Pacino

Al Pacino's “Sonny Boy“ is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in acting, Hollywood, or simply a compelling life story. This memoir is a raw and honest look at Pacino's journey from a childhood in the South Bronx to becoming one of the most celebrated actors of our time...

I started listening to this audiobook on 3/26/24 and finished tonight. I had to wait for holds, I was reading other books in between, but it has been a constant companion. I watched some of her films, and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. What an accomplished woman and an inspiration. I‘m a bit melancholy I finished it. I learned so much and I appreciate her much more now than ever. Highly recommend!
