5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful tale of a life well-lived
Sir Alec writes beautifully and simply about the his life through the lives that affected him. Funny, honest, and thought provoking. He's not at all the stereotypical stuffy Englishman, but a regular person with a huge amount of talent and alot of great stories to tell. This book should be back in print!

Very Dissapointing
If you are looking for a biography on Alec Guinness then this is not for you its full of small stories about early meetings and does not cover any films that we all know and love. On the whole a very disapointing book

Wonderful autobiography by a truly gifted, truly modest man,
By R. B. Bernstein "R. B. Bernstein, Adjunct Pro... (Brooklyn, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Blessings in Disguise (Paperback)
BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE stands out in my reading as one of the most enjoyable autobiographies I've ever encountered. Unlike so many actors, Alec Guinness is a truly modest man, and his wry humor and ability to laugh at himself are extraordinarily refreshing. Guinness is worth reading even if you've never seen one of his movies or plays or television appearances. It is a damn shame that this fine book is apparently out of print.
