Sonny Boy: A Memoir by Al Pacino

4.4/5

Al Pacino's Sonny Boy, published by Penguin Press on October 15, 2024, is an instant New York Times bestseller that traces the icon's journey from a hardscrabble postwar South Bronx childhood to the heights of Hollywood — most compellingly in its early chapters, and most unevenly when it shifts into a career survey that People Magazine called "as funny as it is reflective."
