A great story of an icon

Patrick's voice is so soothing, I couldn't help but finish it far too quickly. His life opened up thoughts and feelings about my own and made me double take some pre-conceptions. A fascinating listen. Well worth the time.

Thank you

I just wanted to thank Sir Patrick for sharing this with us. I had some trepidation coming into this book, akin to "never meet your heros". There have been, in the past, some memoirs which have made my hero's seem lesser to me. This was assuredly not the case in this instance. So, once again, Thank You.

Will definitely be read again!

It was lovely. I got this primarily for Jean Luc although I wouldn't call myself a massive Trek fan, it's just TNG and Voyager tend to be my go-to comfort food. I loved Picard too, and was curious about who the real Patrick Stewart might turn out to be.

The whole 'Dog and Trumpet' thing makes sense now!!!

I hope to one day see Pat in a play, the little snippet of Shakespeare was quite an eye (ear) opener! All in all extremely enjoyable.

Doesn’t skip life’s complexity

Sir Patrick, shares his best and worse times. My only criticism is that I wanted more depth at times to some of the stories. In a life so rich in experiences, this could have been several volumes.
