No," said Chris in what I would come to recognise as his hallmark quiet-but-authoritative manner. "I want you to read it now. I'll wait until you're done and you can tell me yes or no." MICHAEL CAINE: My view was this wasn’t going to be a sort of third autobiography, which it would have been. This was a journey between me and the reader. It was you and me. And we were going to do this together. And it came about because I told these people saying I want to be rich and famous. You know, but what I felt was that you’ve got to find out what you want to do and be the best possible person you can be at it.

I must confess that my primary reason for reading this is that I love listening to Michael Caine and wanted to hear him talk for 7 hours. In that much the book easily fulfilled its purpose. And that is what the book is best at; Michael Caine telling star-studded anecdotes.

[39] Although I haven't read any of the others, this isn't the first time Michael Caine has written an autobiographical book. My sense is that this one is more of an addendum to his previous books, which are more straightforward autobiographies (and keep being outdated as he continues to find success in old age). It's billed and structured around different "life lessons," (specifically for prospective actors yet told in a more general sense) which run the gamut between tediously obvious and surprisingly insightful. That organizational structure can be off putting at times, as, after starting out with his pre-star early days, he constantly jumps around in time the rest of the book. At the very end the book does devolve a little too much essentially into lists of actors he's met and friends that have passed away. Even so, there are some really entertaining stories throughout, which are told with his ever-present wit and humility.
