fun book

I read this book several times. Masseys life was interesting and well written by him, easy to read, and interesting old black and white photos. His experiences in the army really sticks in my mind, and this book ends with his beginning into his choice of careers: acting. He also has a second book that reviews this, and then continues through the next half of his life, and I recommend that one also, after this one. It depicts the way his career and family life went on, and about his many movies he was in.

One of the best books I've ever read

Stage and screen actor Raymond Massey tells the story of his youth in this wonderfully charming autobiography, going from his very first memories as a little boy to when he was 25 and decided he wanted to pursue a career in acting.Well-educated, wordly, and very intelligent, Raymond Massey wrote an utterly endearing book, with amusing little stories of the people he grew up with and how they impacted his life. Yet his book was also quite moving as he reminisced on his wartime memories that will practically leave you in tears.Raymond Massey's autobiography is a very quick read, and there is added enjoyment with the several photos featured in the picture section. This book is a must for all Raymond Massey fans. It really is one of the best books I've ever read.
