THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER
The renowned and bestselling memoir—written with “insight, truth, and passion” (Sir Ian McKellen)—from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart.
From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations in a career spanning six decades with his indelible command of stage and screen. No other British working actor enjoys such career variety, universal respect, and unending popularity, as witnessed through his seminal roles—whether as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek fame, Professor Charles Xavier of Marvel's X-Men hit movie franchise, his more than forty years as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, his unforgettable one-man show adapted from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, or his comedic work in American Dad!, Ted, Extras, and Blunt Talk, among many others. Now, he presents his stunning memoir, a revealing portrait of a driven artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.
Customer Reviews
Cleverly Written and Read
A very interesting, fun, eye-opening glimpse into the reality of others, especially those that seem far removed from ‘us’ ‘normal’ people, so are placed on a pedestal, when they are just the same as ‘us’.
Too much minutiae
I left this book feeling disappointed. It gave me a very poor opinion of Mr. Stewart. Such a selfish narcissist with regard to his family.
The book itself was rather boring. Stewart went on and on about mundane things and skipped over swaths of his professional life that would’ve been interesting to any reader. I had to force myself to finish it.
Wonderful book
It was an absolute delight getting to hear the life story of one of my favorite actors and read by him as well. It makes me regret that I haven’t been able to see him more on the stage during his career which I did not realize was so extensive. He covers his entire life from his childhood till now. Love hearing the behind the scene stories of TNG and x men. Hearing his story and having lost my own father there is something unspoken you just understand and relate with when someone else speaks of the experience. I feel like I could sit down and share a glass of Jameson Whiskey with him.
