Customer Reviews

just wonderful!

a wonderfully crafted book.so glad to have been able to read these memoirs in mr. o'connor's own words, rather than another of those 'formula' celebrity bios being cranked out by the 'pros.' and this is not just a review of o'connors formidable career but a witty and insightful look at human behavior and historical events. i was lucky to have first heard the audio version of this book as read by carroll o'connor with his skillful delivery and timing which helped me 'hear' his voice as i read the print version. best way to do it if you can, i think. now, if the second printing could have about four times as many photos, and mr. o'connor would favor us w/ an unabridged audio version i would be happy to purchase both.

Carroll O'Connor's Memoir of All My Families

As a very big "All in the Family" fan, I was looking very forward to reading this book. It is really good because it goes deep into Carroll and you find out who he is and what is about. As previous readers have stated the book can be slow and rambling, but you have to be prepared for things like that in memoirs. Overall, I thought it was a very good book that should be read by Carroll O'Connor and All in the Family fans.

Carroll O'Connor inspires, touches, and makes one laugh

I have never been so enthralled in a biography. O'Connor's honest, poignant, and witty account of his life touched my heart. The book has such a strong voice-- well written and very personal. Shrugging off his foibles, proud of his strengths, and forthcoming with his regrets, O'Connor lets us in a little closer to who he is. I couldn't put this down!

This book must be read by every who loves Carroll O'Connor

I read and listen to this book and was very impressed with the writing of this book. Mr. O'Connor could have gone deeper into his life , he let out alot of things that needed to be told. It could be that some of the things hurt him to much to talk about, but still read this book - it is a great book.
