Jean Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, two legendary characters. An interesting autobiography.

RamsFan1963 It disappointed me he was such a womanizer and cheater. I thought better of him 2w

22-5 Nov 24 (audiobook)
I was a mild TNG fan in my teens but have never watched an Xmen movie. Nevertheless, I do like Shakespeare and memoirs and Stewart‘s voice, so gave this a go. There were some amusing anecdotes but it was a little self-serving to me. Stewart seemed disingenuous and keen to paint his relationships with women in the best possible light. I do agree with his politics and his stance against domestic violence. Maybe just a pick?

This man. I tell ya. I grew up watching Sci fi with my dad and TNG was my favorite. I've loved Patrick Stewart ever since. Shakespeare, American Dad, Dickens, the whole lot.
"Are you anybody?" You're more than anybody Sir Stewart, you're somebody to so many people.

BAIL.... Only managed 55 tedious self congratulatory pages. This gave me the ick before I even got to the icky parts of his story. Will stick to enjoying his acting only.

Switching to a #kindle read for evening and getting my inner trekkie on

RamsFan1963 Great book, but Stewart does come off as a cad for his infidelities 8mo
Balibee146 @RamsFan1963 thanks yeah I had an inkling this was part of the story 8mo

This made for delightful listening while walking my dog over the last 8-9 days. Enjoyed learning about Stewart‘s young life and career. Overall, it was a fun listen 🙂

A truly delightful listening experience. Stewart is honest about his flaws, vulnerable in his insecurities and the dark moments he experienced as a child, but the majority of this book reads as a rose-coloured glance back over a life well-lived. He manages both gratitude for the opportunities, and calm statements of where his hard work contributed to his success. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? While there are a slew of names dropped, they feel like the billing required to tell his life story and how staggering some new experiences were. Didn't love hearing about the infidelity, but I am so happy he seems to have got love and marriage right the third time. 10mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/4 Most obvious in the scant coverage of moments with his children of his first marriage, and the subsuming of moments with the previous two wives for relating moments with the current, the book makes it clear that Stewart is an actor before anything else. It may be hard to relate to that choice of career or that level of dedication, but he likely wouldn't be among the most vivid media moments of my childhood without that drive. 10mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 And he seems to be such a gentle soul in his relationships with fellow actors. I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised that a man in his eighties is as enlightened (dare I say lefty) in his views.
Definitely go for the audiobook on this one.

Texreader I‘ve always loved him as an actor. Not sure I have the courage to see the less than lovely bad side 10mo
Robotswithpersonality @Texreader Honestly, compared to the Hollywood scandals over the years, Stewart's 'bad side' is really mild. [The warnings refer to what he suffered, rather than inflicted]. 10mo
