Woody Allen
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.

I had previously researched his side of the story and it seems pretty obvious that he is innocent.
Mia's children all seem damage...14 kids and THREE suicides.
But back to Woody, he is a fabulous writter and was so smart to read it himself. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen :)
Great Listen

Very complete from the horses mouth
I must say that well before I read this, I completely believed his innocence in the awful allegations perpetuated on him
While listening I believe I heard the real truth

Woody Thank you for sharing

Particularly enjoyed his stories of his early life and career, impressive, but he doesn’t take himself or his work too seriously. Read well by the author, good performance, cadence, though clearly older, still distinctly himself.
Most of the book is NOT about the accusation/scandal, its just brought up in context and chronologically as part of his life.
Seems content, happy even, in spite of it.
Loaded up some of his movies in the queue on Amazon. Enjoy.
Honest, self effacing and wryly funny.
