Summary
One of the most accomplished and outspoken actors today chronicles the highs and lows of his life in this beautifully written, candid memoir.
Over the past three decades, Alec Baldwin has established himself as one of Hollywood's most gifted, hilarious, and controversial leading men. From his work in popular movies, including Beetlejuice, Working Girl, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Cooler, and Martin Scorsese's The Departed to his role as Jack Donaghy on Tina Fey's irreverent series 30 Rock - for which he won two Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards - and as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, he's both a household name and a deeply respected actor.
In Nevertheless, Baldwin transcends his public persona, making public facets of his life he has long kept private. In this honest, affecting memoir, he introduces us to the Long Island child who felt burdened by his family's financial strains and his parents' unhappy marriage; the Washington, DC, college student gearing up for a career in politics; the self-named "Love Taxi" who helped friends solve their romantic problems while neglecting his own; the young soap actor learning from giants of the theatre; the addict drawn to drugs and alcohol who struggles with sobriety; the husband and father who acknowledges his failings and battles to overcome them; and the consummate professional for whom the work is everything. Throughout Nevertheless, one constant emerges: the fearlessness that defines and drives Baldwin's life.
Told with his signature candor, astute observational savvy, and devastating wit, Nevertheless reveals an Alec Baldwin we have never fully seen before.

Excellent Memoirs
I loved this book written by the actor Alec Baldwin. It was particularly candid and powerful. His delivery is the best I've heard since Nick Offerman. Undoubtedly the best sounding voice in show business. Definitely well worth a listen.

More than worth a listen Literally an open book
Firstly I want to say thank you to all involved especially the author with this work
Mr Baldwin may not be to all tastes but no disputing his honesty and drive
I was both entertained and surprised by a lot of this mans life and from his early years it’s easy to say that’s where his personality and candour originated
I would recommend this work to all that want to see the man who is Mr Baldwin warts and all
Peace to you from one man to another

Dull, with an extremely tedious political rant. Oration was pretty good, the content was poor.

Alex Baldwin is like marmite, nevertheless great
Where does Nevertheless rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
firstly Alex narrates this memoir. he is honest and frank about his life and its ups and downs. he comes across as driven man , who doesn't suffer fools ( or the press) gladly, nevertheless I really enjoyed it..
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved his antidote re how he got the name of the book.. nevertheless: perfect timing and made me laugh out loud.. his tale about his demise as a box office A lister was funny and honest I guess... when asked what the current producers thought about him, his agent said.. " Alex they don't think about you at all"... thats honesty for you..
What about Alec Baldwin’s performance did you like?
yes.. whats not to like.. his voice is intriguing and relaxing... his humour shines through.. a mans man for all that..
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
his relationship with his daughter and the years of lawyers .... billing him by the hour... terribly sad..
Any additional comments?
I look forward to his next memoir,nevertheless!!

Brutally, refreshingly honest
I have seen Alec in movies over the years and read about him in the tabloids so I knew a bit a about his acting career and media profile. This book gives his take on his movies, media, tv, politics, family and much, much more. He
neither spares himself nor others. He's also a gifted writer and narrator. Having looked at how the press have hounded him I also admire his restraint. I'd have decked those intrusive and provocative Mofos. I've now started 30 Rock to enjoy his comedy talents. He's a real renaissance man and this is a great memoir. It's not moany or self justifying, it's honest, illuminating and highly entertaining.

Fascinating insight
Really enjoyed listening to the life and times of Xander Baldwin. Thoroughly enjoyable and honest tales of a life in the spotlight. Plus listening to Baldwin's voice is a definite bonus!
