Making It So: A Memoir

Frank and emotionally honest story of a man who has become one grand old men of our age, but it has been a circuitous route and it is clear that he has had unlearn so many of his early survival skills and overcome many a childhood trauma to become what we know now, a man who so much more than his past. There is real depth to this man and I am glad to have read this.

I found his life more colourful than I expected it to be, his ego slightly bigger than a doctor would prescribe for a happy life which probably explains the nob-existent relationship with his children and I was pleasantly surprised by how down-to-earth and charismatic Sir Patrick Stewart he is outside the acting world. Great fella to have as a friend, mentor or colleague. Not so great as a father or husband.

This audiobook was absolutely delightful to listen to. I think anyone with an appreciation of Star Trek Next Gen, Picard, or theater in general will really enjoy this memoir. I loved hearing stories from all throughout Sir Patrick Stewart's life and I have no idea how he was able to remember so much in so much detail!
