SONNY BOY A Memoir

Narrator, author, and acclaimed method actor Al Pacino offers a meandering path through a life of astounding success and the absence of any at all. The many jumps both forward and back in his lifetime can, at times, be unsettling for the listener. His voice tonality is professionally strong but gravelly. Though his memoir is not very personally revealing, Pacino's earnestness in both the writing and narration is most present in his discussion of acting's challenges and rewards. Tolerable street language and cursing pervade. His comments on the value of a few members of his immediate family and his closeness with childhood friends bring out the best in his narration. Fans and those with casual interest in a fine actor will likely enjoy this rough and tough romp. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
