Critic reviews

‘Patrick’s early life is a Dickensian tale of domestic violence and misfortune, transformed by chance and some good folk into the actor internationally admired and loved. He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth and passion. Another Stewart Triumph!’ (Sir Ian McKellen)
‘There is so much to say about Sir Patrick. He is an amazing actor, great to look at, really funny and up for anything. He is a kind man… compassionate and sensitive…. but, as you will find when you read the book, his greatest asset as a human being is the fact that he is so completely and unapologetically himself’ (Whoopi Goldberg)
‘I read this book in a state of wonder, not just for the author’s gifts as a nuanced storyteller and sharp observer, but for those other remarkable gifts, of intelligence, sensitivity, wit, intuition, self-awareness and élan that were bestowed on him when he came into the world – all of which he has freely shared with us so long and so beautifully; and finished reading in a state of deep gratitude for the gifts, and the gift, of Patrick Stewart’

(Michael Chabon)
‘What a glorious memoir Sir Patrick Stewart has written. His prose is elegant and beautiful, diamond-like in its clarity and precision, and his recollections of his life are full of tenderness, insight, candour and pathos. If he hadn't been so busy all these years being a great actor, delighting us all, he could have been a great writer, and now with this book, he is one’ (Jonathan Ames)

A heart warming account of a fantastic man. Talking about his childhood and family right up until the end of Star Trek Picard.
The anecdotes were from the heart and the more darker parts felt truly heart wrenching.
Sir Patrick’s narration is spell binding. Listening to this audiobook during my daily commute to and from work I actually was please to be stuck in traffic so I could hear more of his fascinating life.

Thank you Sir Patrick for being so enthralling.

Absolutely gripping

This book was fantastic! It was like being invited to a one man play. Such warmth and honesty. Such passion and dedication to his craft. Incredible narration. Start it, it will consume you and then be so sad it’s ended. More please!

Wow wow wow!

Loved hearing of Patrick's life but where some parts had masses of details others lacked. As star trek lasted so many years I thought there would be more there. Also as the latter years there's less detail. Still thoroughly interesting
Book 1 could have been up to startreak and book 2 from star trek to current day
Anyway thank you Patrick I loved it

Brilliant listen but could easily be more
