Oddly monotone
Michael Caine's led a rags-to-riches life and has some amusing stories to tell along the way. Unfortunately his performance on this 1992 abridged reading is almost completely flat and monotone. About the only time it perks up is when he remarks, as part of a major edit in the story, that if we want to know more about his numerous films we'll need to read the book - I could almost hear him laughing as he said it. His 2010 autobiography 'The Elephant to Hollywood' (also available here on Audible) is far more entertaining and far better value too. It covers the same ground and then some - a generous, unabridged 10 hours of the irrepressible Mr Caine rounding up his life so far.

Eye opening insight to Mr. Caine's poor backgroun.
Michael Caine's self-narrated Auto Biography makes all the difference to this audible book.
Highly recommend it. Unbelievable how down to earth this immensely successful A-Lister was and still is.
My wife and I listened to this from start to finish within a 280mile round trip in the car.
We hope there's another self-nareated Michael Caine auto-biography.

Where's it all gone?
I read this book years ago, and wanted to do so again, but there's so much missing. Various things that I remember from the first read are just not here. Excellently read by the author though, just not enough.

Astonishingly Enjoyable!!!
Still not sure what induced me to invest in this read but so glad I dtd. I've always enjoyed his films, except his role as an officer in South Africa, although think that was down to myself! Too many parallels in our totally different lives!!!

Very short but enjoyable. Caine is great.
Michael Caine's biography is well worth a listen. Well read, interesting and at times both funny and powerful.
