What made the experience of listening to Pictures in My Head the most enjoyable?
Hearing it in the author's own voice, with his wonderful vocal talent.Who was your favorite character and why?
Gabriel - as a child. I wanted to reach back through the years and hug himWhat about Gabriel Byrne’s performance did you like?
How he brought his acting skills into the performance with the vocal changes for each character (it was like the actual people were there in the room with him). His occasional singing and poems - wonderful.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"The many lives I've lived and encountered"Any additional comments?
If you're expecting a typical movie memoir of who's who's then you'll be disappointed. However it is rich with wonderful stories of Gabriel's upbringing, but also including the horrible treatment of the Nun at school, his various jobs before getting into acting as well as his own poems and reflections of those who have touched his life. He is very much a great writer, as far as I'm concerned and should write more!Pleasantly surprised - not your average memoir

If you could sum up Pictures in My Head in three words, what would they be?
Lyrical, beautiful, authenticWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Pictures in My Head?
When poor little Gabriel has his first encounter with the nun at Catholic school. The way she treated him broke my heart.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book will make you laugh and cry. Byrne has a talent for observation, and he describes minute details that few people would pick up on, and they add great depth to his stories and descriptions. He's a gifted storyteller and wonderful writer. You don't need to know anything about him as an actor to enjoy this book. He reads the book himself, which is an added bonus. Without him narrating, it woudn't be nearly as entertaining. He's a treat for the ears, the mind, and the heart.Byrne is a gifted storyteller.

Would you listen to Pictures in My Head again? Why?
I would listen to Pictures in My Head again because it was so intriguing to learn about how Gabriel Byrne grew up and faced his challenges in life. It provides not only an insight into his life, it also gives you an understanding of his mind and his thinking. Well, and his voice with the thick Irish accent is just one of a kind. I am so glad he narrated this audio book himself. This is very unique and valuable.What did you like best about this story?
The level of detail took me on a journey to Ireland and into the mind of Gabriel Byrne.Have you listened to any of Gabriel Byrne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I listened to the audio interviews that are available here at Audible. They complement the information that you get about Gabriel Byrne, but this audio book is clearly the best listen.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
HIs childhood experience with his awful school teacher and how she torn down the flowers that he brought into school for... listen yourself!Any additional comments?
I am glad that Gabriel Byrne published and narrated Pictures in My Head.Extremely pleasant voice and touching story
