Oh dear, this is hard going , I will finish it but disliking Pacino more with every turning of the page. Coming across as pretentious, conceited and false & having difficulty believing his struggles with isolation are to do with the intensity of a character and impact on himself but more of a result of people deserting him due to his overbearing self-importance. I also question if his alcohol/drug use is overblown.

I’ve stuck with this book and I can say with some conviction that Pacino is probably one of the most narcissistic person I have ever had the displeasure of reading. He actually denies being a narcissist and says it just self-interest but he seems to be confusing it with gross self-importance and feigned magnanimity.

Can’t say I’m enjoying it but not struggling with it either. The problem is Pacino’s description of his attitude to events which doesn’t warm you to him in fact you question his truth. He could probably eat himself if it was possible. Thankfully, there is a interesting insight to growing up in the Bronx and his friends in the industry in his early years as a theatre actor.
