Sonny Boy is the autobiography from Al Pacino. In this memoir he talks about landing his first lead role in The Panic In Needle Park, then onto The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico and The Godfather Pt II. From the 1970s highs to the 1980s lows of Cruising, Revolution and Scarface. Then back to some of his greatest works including Dick Tracy, Heat, Glengarry Glen Ross, Donnie Brasco, The Merchant of Venice and many more. Pacino also talks about his love of the stage, how The Actor's Studio helped him hone his craft and his love of Shakespeare.

Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide.


I delve into the book and pick out some key points, tidbits and some funny stories.
