Format:Paperback
This engaging memoir comes from a natural storyteller, whose selection of discourse is first-rate. Each page becomes ever more engrosing as it gives an exquisitely detailed account of the singer songwritters life; from his childhood in Wallsend to his success in the police and beyond.
The lack of pictures in the book is more than made up for by his gifted use of prose, as he builds up visual images like a poet, as each page goes by.
This book extends well beyond the interest of a man's music alone. An essential read!

A beautifully crafted book where Sting searches his often bittersweet childhood and early years, to understand how he became the man he is today.
This book is proof, is any were needed, of his immense and formidable talent - not only as a singer-songwriter, but also as a writer.
Inclusion of photos would be the only change I would make to this excellent memoir.

I found the book hard going for the first chapter but perservered with it and once past the initial chapter I was hooked.
A really good book that shows how hard Sting had to struggle with trying to get his music career off the ground and also looking after a wife and new baby. I saw a different side to Sting and although I admired him before I was even more impressed on his down right determination to get what he wanted.
Just goes to show if you want it badly enough, then go out there and get it.
I would definitely recommend this book, go for it!

"Inside, I simply didn't belong"
I am a fan of Sting's music, but not so great a fan as to see him live or join his fan club. So I come to this book with hopefully a little more objectivity. Read more

Good book, shame about the lack of pictures!
