"Brilliance and Joy to read. The autobiography of the Cockney superstar Michael Caine. Title is of course the opening of the title song from the film that shot him to fame in the 1960's ALFIE. Find the original b&w version of the film - don't bother with the modern remake with Jude Law "

    " A stimulating and in an sense reassuring book, in that it essentially confirms a fairly commonsense view of what life's about. I liked the logical demolition of any idea that life can be given meaning by something outside it (like an afterlife), and also his recognition of the importance of love. "

    " This book does a great job in explaining the the freedom which comes from renouncing the belief that life has a universal inherent meaning. "

    " This is an astonishingly well written autobiography. Many celebrities list out "facts" of their lives, Caine is really telling a story. Witty and engaging from start to finish. "

    " Ok, so he wrote this himself, and it's not the best book in the world. But the voice and tone of it are so personal you'll feel like you're sitting down with the man himself. I love his films, and I think he's amazing. So I enjoyed it. But it's not for everyone. "
