Like a lot of other reviewers, I was disappointed to hear some of the details about Patrick Stewart's personal relationships and I do see him differently as a result. While listening to this book I said, half in jest, to friends: "don't meet your heroes and don't read their memoirs." I found this more true as the book went on.

All that being said, I loved listening to this book. Patrick Stewart is as genial and engaging as he ever was. It felt like listening to a story from an old friend or family member. I do wish there had been more about Trek, but Sir Patrick made it so clear that he wished for separation from Picard and Trek as a whole that it wasn't surprising.

Overall it kept me engaged and I did enjoy it.

They say never to meet your heroes. There's an ongoing conversation about whether you can separate the art from the artist. I keep mulling this over in my mind, along with the fact that humans are by nature complex, as I consider Sir Pat's memoir. His accomplishments and talent are unquestioned, and I kept adding titles to my watch list as I spent time listening to him over the last 19 hours. But how to disentangle this from the fact that he is, by his own admission, a pretty terrible husband and father. This doesn't decrease the excellence of his work, but I don't know what to do with the knowledge that this work was done at the expense of relationships that were ostensibly important to him. Am I going to rewatch TNG and his Hamlet with David Tennant? Yeah, of course. Am I gonna feel weird about it? Probably.
