    Couverture de Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing

    Description

    Sir Michael Caine is loved not just for his many films, but for his warmth, honesty, and humour in describing every aspect of his life from his humble South London beginnings to performing alongside the greatest Hollywood actors of the day. As Sheridan Morley wrote about his first book: 'It has taken two decades to get a man back on (Niven's) Moon, and the man is Michael Caine.'

    In this long-awaited, and self-penned, new autobiography, he tells us not only the events of the almost 20 years since his last book – which include his Oscar winning film Cider House Rules, as well as the box-office busting Batman - but also many great eye-opening and entertaining stories from his life and career, shedding light on the real Hollywood and the years he struggled to get there.

    With all the charm and wit we know him for, this audiobook is set to become a new classic to rank alongside Niven's Moon's a Balloon.

    Captivating

    What made the experience of listening to The Elephant to Hollywood the most enjoyable?

    I found Michael Caine to be a surprisingly candid and open author. The book is touching and almost sweet. I am amazed by his sense of gratitude for his apparent 'good fortune' and his humility regarding his ability as an actor.

    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Elephant to Hollywood?

    I particularly enjoyed Michael recounting Christmases and why they are so special to him, His need for family closeness.

    Have you listened to any of Michael Caine’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    My first encounter with Michael Caine outside of his acting.

    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Due to the Author being the narrator, this book makes you feel like you are sharing a 'real' person's life.

    Any additional comments?

    Well written and well narrated. I certainly would read any other works that are narrated by Michael Caine

    The Legend that is Morris Micklewhite!

    If you could sum up The Elephant to Hollywood in three words, what would they be?

    Best Audiobook Yet

    What did you like best about this story?

    The delivery and the depth that Michael goes into to share his story

    What does Michael Caine bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The unique character behind the story. I think all biographies should be read by their subjects, it adds another dimension that might have been lost being read by someone else

    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The story about his father passing away

    Any additional comments?

    Absolutely loved it. Listened to it on an 18 hour drive to Italy, played it going, and just had to play it again on the way back. Not once did we get bored or weren't fully immersed in the story. There was silence in the car for the whole journey! :)

    Entertaining

    This narration is really fresh and enjoyable. I love when Michael Caine chuckles and sometimes practically laughs out loud. You feel like you are in a pub with him and listening to him reminisce about the old days. Thoroughly entertaining!

    Highly entertaining

    Narrated by Michael himself, the book was a joy to listen to. It gives you a great insight not only to Mr. Caines' ascent from his humble beginnings, but also to the inner workings of Hollywood and its denizens. Bravo!

    An Original

    What did you love best about The Elephant to Hollywood?

    I first read Michael Caine's biography What's It All About? which tracks Caine's upbringing from the working class to Hollywood. That was quite a while ago, and I was glad to update myself with his spoken version. And who better to tell Michael Caine's story than Michael Caine? It's a long story but he's had an amazingly long career - it's personal enough and a testament to his determination to make it in spite of the odds. Mostly enjoyable. You can't fault the non-events that are inevitable in an autobiography like this....PS I'm going to miss Sir Michael Caine when he's gone. They don't make stars like him anymore.

    Who was your favorite character and why?

    There is only one leading man here.

    Not Many People Know That...

    I thought I knew Sir Michael Caine. I love and hate some of his movies. I think he is a loveable guy and great character. As he has got older I think his work gets better but this book shows how little I knew about the man. I found out his favourite movies are mine, well besides Alfie, which I have never seen but it made him. He has worked hard for his career and had a lot of luck. He has had downs and hard times, which come out nicely in this book. What really makes this book is Michael narrating it. His laugh is so funny. Would love to have a dinner with the man, but I don't see that happening, we move in different circles. Love the book, can't say you will understand or know Michael Caine any better but what a trip down memory lane. His accent is so comforting and his story telling captivating. I know he is getting on in age, but please stick around and make more movies, even write more books.
    Love your work.

    Interesting but surprisingly poor humoured

    Where does The Elephant to Hollywood rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Among the good one but not the best

    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Elephant to Hollywood?

    When Michael Caine introduce his racist neighbor to his Indian wife!

    What about Michael Caine’s performance did you like?

    Well, we are talking of Michael Caine! He can't perform badly. However, given his status, I was expecting something better. He is singularly bad at telling jokes! And he is obviously stage laughing afterward. Disappointing.

    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When he discovers that his mother kept hidden his half-brother for years.

    A good life story told well

    What made the experience of listening to The Elephant to Hollywood the most enjoyable?

    Michael Caine and his relaxed and sometimes funny reading of the book. Enjoying his memories whilst reading it makes it all the more enjoyable for the listener.

    What about Michael Caine’s performance did you like?

    Brilliant reading and best told by the man himself. Emotions across the board are reflected in his reading.

    Any additional comments?

    An Audible must listen for anyone who likes Michael Caine or biographies. Or even both! :)

    Wonderful

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, if they like movies and Michael Caine

    What did you like best about this story?

    The narration was great. Every autobiography should be read by the author. I love it when he laughs out loud sometimes when he retells a story or remembers something.

    Fantastic stories, superbly narrated

    Well, as Sir Michael often referred to, the greats of yesteryear really are dying out, so it’s great to be able to hear his wonderful anecdotes. I loved the fact that his laughter at his own jokes were left in for us to enjoy!
    I will definitely listen to this again.

    Marvelous

    I really like it how Michael puts the happenings and on some parts I laughed loudly where om some other parts I had my eyes in tears. I've always had a crush on Michael Caine since I was a little girl but I knew nothing about him. It's such a relief to me to know that my hero is such a good hearted and sometimes goofy man. Live long and happy Michael <3
