About this listen
The long-awaited, enormously entertaining memoir by one of the great artists of our time.
In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire 60-year-long and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Hannah and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances, and his famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure.
This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.

If you're a Woody Allen fan....
Thoroughly enjoyed equally as much upon second listen to this bio of the great man's life. That it's narrated by Allen takes it all to another level. There is a fairly extensive chapter or 2 relating to the angst of Mia Farrow, and relating to his now marriage, in excess of 20yrs to her adopted daughter, Soon Yi, yet this is entirely relevant and, moreover, to me at least gave huge & further insights into the full nature of it all, as it sheds so much light upon Farrows true nature, most of which was revelatory. It's a great listen if you have any interest at all in the man. Brilliantly narrated and very highly recommended.

What a real treat this book is
Definitely Woody Allen is at its best performing his own autobiography. I’ve always enjoyed his jokes and sense of humor. This book is as cool as everything else he’s produced. Thanks Woody for shearing the awful story about what happened with Mia and really sorry to hear the craziness of the media. Reading this book I’ve laughed so much. Thank you !

Allen at his awkward best
I enjoyed his book as I enjoy his movies. He fumbles through this but gives great insight to his unconventional life and past relationships. Worth a listen.

Once again Woody does not disappoint.
In this age of Covid, it was good to laugh about Woody worried he would be made to do 50 pushups 'cause he couldn't get a cab.

Woody Allen's autobiography
Woody Allen narrating his autobiography was truly amazing. I enjoyed every minute of his open, frank, honest retelling of his life which was very funny in many parts. I disagree with him that he has not made a good movie. He has entertained millions around the world for a lifetime. A truly great career. His humility is probably the most surprising feature of his autobiography.

Fantastic book!
Fantastic read for Woody Allen fans. His early childhood and how he started in show biz is interesting and funny. One of the best biographies I have listened to. Woody narration makes this story special
