Reviews
"National treasure Michael Caine shares the wisdom, insight and skills life has taught him, all with his fabulous storytelling."-- Prima, "Caine melds candid anecdotes and a master class onacting into an upbeat, unpretentious, and star-studded memoir.... Warmrecollections and practical advice from an acclaimed star."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Witty and wildly entertaining.... Caine offers star-studded anecdotes about the realities of being a working actor and life on and off the sets.... This solidly entertaining memoir doesn't have a single dull page."-- Shelf Awareness, "Caine reflects on anexceptional life on and off stage and shares pertinent advice and poignantobservations in a dishy and anecdotal rumination. Caine's pithy but passionatecounsel can be applied to nearly any situation. Gracious, generous, and humble,this consummate professional is a generous advocate for creating a fulfillingand contented life."-- Booklist, "A down-to-earth, kindhearted ramble from your nice Britishgreat-uncle, who's led a fascinating and glamorous life but never forgot hishumble roots. [...] full of irresistibly tossed-off moments involving the likesof Cary Grant, Quincy Jones, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Bette Davis, andStephen Hawking."-- Seattle Times, "With exceptional wit and flair, Academy Award winnerCaine recounts his fascinating personal and professional journey. Engrossinganecdotes.... Caine speaks of his failures and successes with humility and humor,perceptively explaining that the lessons he learned apply both to aspiringactors and the general public-how to be fully prepared, make the most of everyopportunity, achieve balance, deal with aging, and find the good in anyexperience. This well-written narrative shines with positive energy andprovides a fine overview of the actor's life and the screen and stage.... Caine'sis a life well lived and well told. His fans will be rewarded, as will anyoneseeking an enjoyable, inspirational read."-- Library Journal (starred review), "Caine the raconteur provides exactly what an admiringreader would want from the cockney-born Hollywood vet.... The great stuff is whenhe recalls his days in swinging 1960s England."-- New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Now in his 85th year, Hollywood legend Michael Caine shares wisdom and stories from his remarkable career in this "engrossing" memoir that "shines with positive energy" ( Library Journal , starred review). One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in over 100 films in his six-decade career, spanning classic movies like Alfie , Zulu , and The Italian Job (the inspiration for the book title) to playing Alfred opposite Christian Bale's Batman in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy. Caine has excelled in every kind of role--with a skill that's made it look easy. Caine knows what success takes. He's made it to the pinnacle of his profession from humble origins. But as he says, "Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it." Still working and more beloved than ever, Caine now shares everything he's learned-and "his fans will be rewarded, as will anyone seeking an enjoyable, inspirational read" ( Library Journal ).
