Well written, fascination path of an artist
Fascinating read. I grew up listening to The Police and Stings solo stuff as well. This book could be dry in parts, but I think it's honest and deeply interesting. If you think that Sting lead some easy path to stardom and being a singer/songwriter, then you are simply wrong and should read this book. He had a path in life that was predictably boring for him and easily followed in England (office deskjob, teacher), but risked everything in order to find the thread of a more artistic life. Sting met random people, took chances and made decisions on gut instinct that led him down his path. He was always looking for the instruction book to success, but after searching, knew there wasn't one. He had to invent his own. (Like we all do)
If you want to see how Sting did it, read this book. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, bred to become a star. Far from it.
Best autobiography I've ever read
This books is so poetically crafted that at times it's hard to believe it's about a real life, and not a work of fiction. Sting is an incredibly gifted writer, and I hope he writes more in the future.
Very interesting
Sting really does an excellent job of stepping outside of his usual narrative form and moving into long form writing. Very well done
