À propos de cet audio

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).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Charming, advice-filled look at his extraordinary career."—People
"Caine the raconteur provides exactly what an admiring reader would want from the cockney-born Hollywood vet.... The great stuff is when he recalls his days in swinging 1960s England."—New York Times Book Review
"Caine melds candid anecdotes and a master class on acting into an upbeat, unpretentious, and star-studded memoir.... Warm recollections and practical advice from an acclaimed star."—Kirkus Reviews
"Caine reflects on an exceptional life on and off stage and shares pertinent advice and poignant observations in a dishy and anecdotal rumination. Caine's pithy but passionate counsel can be applied to nearly any situation. Gracious, generous, and humble, this consummate professional is a generous advocate for creating a fulfilling and contented life."—Booklist
"Funny, warm, down-to-earth--will captivate fans and casual readers alike."—Publishers Weekly
"With exceptional wit and flair, Academy Award winner Caine recounts his fascinating personal and professional journey. Engrossing anecdotes.... Caine speaks of his failures and successes with humility and humor, perceptively explaining that the lessons he learned apply both to aspiring actors and the general public-how to be fully prepared, make the most of every opportunity, achieve balance, deal with aging, and find the good in any experience. This well-written narrative shines with positive energy and provides a fine overview of the actor's life and the screen and stage.... Caine's is a life well lived and well told. His fans will be rewarded, as will anyone seeking an enjoyable, inspirational read."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Thoroughly engaging."—Sunday Express (UK)
"A down-to-earth, kindhearted ramble from your nice British great-uncle, who's led a fascinating and glamorous life but never forgot his humble roots. [...] full of irresistibly tossed-off moments involving the likes of Cary Grant, Quincy Jones, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Bette Davis, and Stephen Hawking."—Seattle Times
"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
"A chatty and engaging read."—Sunday Times, Books of the Year
"A bright, breezy, and entertaining read."—Daily Express
"National treasure Michael Caine shares the wisdom, insight and skills life has taught him, all with his fabulous storytelling."—Prima

Something so personal as memoir or biography of any type can not really be graded on a traditional scoring system. It is either going to be good or it's going to be crap...I don't know what will constitute as crap until I hear it for the first time. This is an excellent Listen for me because the voice of Michael Caine could read almost anything and make it listenable, I think books like this will always give persons a pleasurable listen as long as they enjoy the reader, the art or subject matter spoke of or like I mentioned as a personal preference (and kinda a roll back to number 1 on the list), it can be found pleasurable or interesting if the reader has a good voice. Interesting man, good insights and clearly s help of a life..I give 5 of 5 and 4 of 5 and 5 of 5...4 out of 5 for performance was because I could hear the pages being turned over as her was reading a handful of times, come on Michael I'm ashamed to share my middle name with your first. ok I'm joking and even as a joke that's a little harsh but I stand by the four out of five that's pretty funny.

What an amazing book. He has a great life philosophy I would love to concur. I am British and enjoyed listening to an accent I nearly forgot was once how I spoke.

Excellent writing, reading and life story

Not just a memoir from one of the great screen actors of our time, covering his life and career from end to end, but also serves as an insightful guidebook for aspiring and working actors on how to prepare, be a professional, a plethora of acting tips, how to behave on set, how to handle success, and how to rock those auditions. Just a solid handbook for life in general. A huge talent and a wise man.

Solid Handbook for Aspiring Actors

I love Michael Caine

I loved his story. It’s really inspiring to hear about the obstacles he had to go through and overcome to get to where he is today. Overall just a great listen. Great life lessons, acting tips, and entertainment.

I hope he writes another one. Loved it

Caine is a man whom I’ve never known much about but always had an instinctive fondness of. Blowing the Bloody Doors Off reinforces that fondness as Caine, very much in a stream-of-consciousness format, discusses a bit of everything from the traumas suffered as a child living in wartime, the mistakes and failures that all helped him grow and eventually led to his many personal and professional successes, to reflecting on his own disadvantages and a succinct recognition of the greater disadvantages faced by women and minorities. Caine takes a non-chronological approach, often jumping several times in a chapter to another time in his life, but it all connects and at times made me feel as though I were on a roadtrip with my grandfather. I will definitely be adding a hardcopy to my bookshelf as well.

Wonderful
