Making It So Reviews

Patricks early life is a Dickensian tale of domestic violence and misfortune, transformed by chance and some good folk into the actor internationally admired and loved. He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth and passion.Another Stewart Triumph! -- Sir Ian McKellen
There is so much to say about Sir Patrick. He is an amazing actor, great to look at, really funny and up for anything. He is a kind man compassionate and sensitive. but, as you will find when you read the book, his greatest asset as a human being is the fact that he is so completely and unapologetically himself -- Whoopi Goldberg
I read this book in a state of wonder, not just for the authors gifts as a nuanced storyteller and sharp observer, but for those other remarkable gifts, ofintelligence, sensitivity, wit, intuition, self-awareness and elan that were bestowed on him when he came into the world all of which he has freely shared with us so long and so beautifully; and finished reading in a state of deep gratitude for the gifts, and the gift, of Patrick Stewart

-- Michael Chabon
What a glorious memoir Sir Patrick Stewart has written. His prose is elegant and beautiful, diamond-like in its clarity and precision, and his recollections of his life are full of tenderness, insight, candour and pathos. If he hadn't been so busy all these years being a great actor, delighting us all, he could have been a great writer, and now with this book, he is one -- Jonathan Ames
