“Alexander treats the material with grace and dignity.…fans looking to savor a connection with a living legend will not be disappointed.” (Publishers Weekly)

Kirk Douglas is a born storyteller, and in this engrossing memoir, he shares delightful tales, favorite jokes, and hard-won insights as he looks back on his storied life and explores the mixed blessings of growing older.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Jason Alexander. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
