From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations with his indelible command of stage and screen.

Brilliant listen but could easily be more

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

Fantastic

A thoroughly enjoyable book. Very well narrated full of moving insights and funny moments, especially those of his Yorkshire childhood as I can remember doing some of them myself! Sir Patrick has made me a curious to try Shakespeare now! I would recommend everyone to read and listen to this book , it’s a delight from beginning to end! Thank you Sir Patrick 😁

As good as it gets

I absolutely loved this biography by Patrick Stewart. Such an interesting life which was told in a special way. I was sad when it was finished! One of the best biographies I've listen to on Audible. Perfect!

I enjoyed it immensely.

As someone else who had a working class English childhood, I loved this from start to end. I loved Star Trek the Next Generation, so this added to my enjoyment. However, the whole experience is poignant, interesting and enjoyable throughout. I'm very glad that the author wrote this book for me to enjoy.

Fantastic 👌

A sprawling account fitting of a life lived to the max. I cried, I laughed, sometimes in the same paragraph.

A wonderful story of a life lived well

The book is a wonderful insight in to the life of the author. The audio version brings it to life, full of emotion and joy. I have thoroughly enjoyed every second and am sad I have reached the end. I will definitely listen again in the future.

A long life well lived .

Sir Patrick came from the humblest of beginnings brought up in Yorkshire with a loving mother and an authoritarian violent father. His is very much the “ rags to riches “ story of a talented young man rising from obscurity to the heights of international stardom , meeting many others along the way and he tells it with candour and wit . He is more than a little surprised about how far he came and the trajectory of his rise. When it comes to his personal life he is also very honest , even though that honesty can put him in a less than favourable light . He reads his words in that beautiful mellifluous voice, making the whole experience a joy for the listener, I do recommend this book to anyone fan or not .

Absolutely gripping

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.
