Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

“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

Incredible! So much more than a memoir

I can't even begin to describe how good this is the way Patrick Stewart tells his story is so pleasant and unique I really can't put into words how the well this is done, story and production, Stewart narrating goodness is fantastic And to be honest, I was not sure if I would like that or not but Stewart puts all his heart into it, I feel it is something special unlike anything I've heard before.

Anyone looking for a good memoir should listen to this even If you're not familiar with Sir Patrick Stewart It doesn't matter the story holds its weight by itself.

For the fans of Patrick Stewart It is indeed everything you could want and way way more So sit back, relax and take a journey with Jean-Luc Picard.

I do want to add thank you mister Stewart Thank you for a lifetime of watching you on the Enterprise and the big screen And if aliens ever did visit earth I would pick you to represent humanity. Seriously I would

What a lovely man!

Stewart’s memoir is a tale told by someone who has considered their life and legacy, and he’s generous with his conclusions, no matter how unfavorable they may deem him. Of course as a Star Trek fan I wish there were more anecdotes from that period in his life, but over 70+ years those times were but a small fraction.

Engrossing

Patrick’s story flows beautifully. Love him and the eloquence in which he shares his life’s journey.

Made It So!

A beautiful story of life’s ups and downs, twists and turns, love and loss! Well done My Capitan!

A delight!

I know and love Patrick Stewart for his Star Trek performances, but it was so wonderful and interesting to learn about his childhood and life as a Shakespearean actor. And his performance made me feel like I was listening to an old friend telling stories. It was a wonderful listen!

Reflections

What a wonderful performance! So many parallels with my own like story. I really enjoyed listening to this life story, narrated by the author himself, a performance to behold, for sure!!! Listening to the narration added a very special dimension to the book.

Candid

Lovely, open, and warm — Patrick Stewart’s memoir is as delightfully gleeful as the good man himself.

Inspiring Life

This book motivates me to try and live my life as fully as Sir Patrick Stewart has. Thanks for the inspo, PatStew!

Man, would I love to meet this wonderful man.

I'm only on chapter 3, but I'm loving this so much. And yes, it does feel like a conversation, albeit, a long one. :D

While it would be a dream to meet you, Sir Patrick Stewart , I wouldn't even know what to say or what topics to conversate about. You've changed me with your portrayal of Jean-Luc Picard. My life changed when I started watching TNG with my father at dinner time when he came home.

How about this, if we meet... Let's play some Monopoly. Deal? :)

This audiobook and this life laid out in the spoken word, just amazing.

An Absolute Revolution!!

I've always loved everything that goes into movies and shows (theater or TV).This beautifully transcended trek through the life of Sir Patrick Stewart not only gave me a compelling, never before thought of, look into an actors life but also reignited my love for cinema, theater and shows as if I first loved them.

Thank you, Sir Patrick, for your vulnerability and candor throughout. It's an incredibly auspicious and truly delightful read.
