Summary

Sir Michael Caine - perhaps best known as gang leader Charlie Croker in 60s crime caper The Italian Job - tells the stories of remarkable heists and extraordinary robberies from around the world, as remembered by the masterminds, detectives, victims, journalists and witnesses that lived through them.

For more than 60 years, Caine has played thieves, criminals, gangsters and the detectives trying to catch them. But there’s Hollywood and then there’s real life... and that’s when things get really interesting.

From the largest bank burglary in American history, to the world’s most audacious book heist, Heist with Michael Caine travels to America, Australia, Stockholm, Antwerp and everywhere in-between to tell true stories behind the world’s most daring heists.

A Somethin’ Else production for Audible Originals, Heist with Michael Caine was created by Alexis Conran, Russell Finch and David Britland. Produced by Richard Ward and Jessica Beck. Executive produced by Joe Sykes and Russell Finch.

Varying in quality

Various different stories brought to life well by Caine. One or two were a bit of a letdown (for example the library one wasn’t exactly notorious or expertly pulled off). For the most part these are enjoyable and insightful, I’d love to hear more of them.

Good story spoiled by music

The music is actually all right, but sometimes so loud it drowns out the narration.

Don’t do this Audible!

You’re forcing me to review something I haven’t finished listening to and can’t finish because this review page won’t disappear until I review it Beyond annoying Audible and if you’re going to do this with future “free for members” items I shall simply stop downloading them.
The single stars are not my comment on this item but on your ridiculous practice.
