Revealing look at Stewart and his personality

Revisado: 07-10-19

To be fair I was probably hoping for more about The Police. He didn't discuss The Police in the early days at all and The pygmies and polo stuff were just not that interesting to me. It was interesting to get a better sense of Stewart's personality. He is obviously a very intelligent person and it was great to hear his story told by him. but I almost walked away feeling like he didn't appreciate the life he led at times. His frequent rants and raves about his life almost came across as whiny at times. I would have liked to hear more about his family if he was not going to write about the Police. I think he has 7 children and they only get a quick mention twice. This guy is a musical genius in many ways, but he came across as a little over sensitive and annoying at times. He would talk about "mounting" the stage. No one says that. Why would anyone say that? it's not an actual thing people do or say.

It was a decent book that probably would have been better if he had some help writing it. Sometimes the things that we think are interesting about our own lives are not the things that others find interesting about our lives. Sometimes it takes another person to pick the stories to make the book the most interesting it can be.

On a positive note I loved the frequent original music clips throughout the book. I also really liked his narration. 70% of the book was really interesting and enjoyable. The other 30% was revealing, but just okay. What the hell. You can't make everybody happy I guess. I would recommend the book if you really want to know Steward Copeland's personality. I think that one gets a good sense of his thought processes and sense of humor.

Narrator Too Distracting

Revisado: 06-26-19

The narrator over acted, over enunciated, and it felt like he was reading to children. His inflections were so over done, that I was completely distracted. I only got through 20 minutes of the book, and then I had to turn it off. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I just couldn't listen to him for another minute.
