Summary

Sir Michael Caine is loved not just for his many films, but for his warmth, honesty, and humour in describing every aspect of his life from his humble South London beginnings to performing alongside the greatest Hollywood actors of the day. As Sheridan Morley wrote about his first book: 'It has taken two decades to get a man back on (Niven's) Moon, and the man is Michael Caine.'

In this long-awaited, and self-penned, new autobiography, he tells us not only the events of the almost 20 years since his last book – which include his Oscar winning film Cider House Rules, as well as the box-office busting Batman - but also many great eye-opening and entertaining stories from his life and career, shedding light on the real Hollywood and the years he struggled to get there.

With all the charm and wit we know him for, this audiobook is set to become a new classic to rank alongside Niven's Moon's a Balloon.

Feeling very humbled to have read this book.

Having admired Michael Caine for many years I'm honered he's shared these stories. Having also read a Roger Moore biography some years ago, I truly love to hear all the stories from decades ago. Full of nostalgia and serendipity Sir Michael has a history like no other and a huge appreciation for it too. Great read indeed.

Captivating

Always loved Michael Caine's work but now I've fallen in love with him - what an amazing person he is - kind, funny, romantic, self-deprecating and able to tell stories of his famous friends without being a bragger. All hail to a real icon!

Fantastic Audiobook

A must for anyone who likes to listen to a great autobiography by a legend. It wouldn’t work with anyone else other than Sir Michael reading it. Fantastic stuff.
