Rating: Summary: A Journey into the Life and Mind of a Genius. Review: Written elegantly and with honesty Charlie Chaplin describes fame and fortune as well as poverty and despair. An often despressed and socially lacking person, Chaplin lets you see behind the makeup and the cameras.This book really shows his genius. Without the benefit of much schooling he still writes like a man with a degree in jounalism. At times, though, Chaplin trails off on subjects, then comes back but you get the feeling that you really know him as he takes you further than any other autobiographer and into his mind.
