I enjoy doing memoirs in audiobook format with the original author doing the reading. This was very engaging. Such a very busy and successful life.

What a career!

I love Phil Collins, warts and all. In this autobiography, he was honest about his mistakes, but really, nobody's perfect. Reading about how he didn't even realize how much trouble he was in with his overworking, there was bound to be a crash, or more than one.

By the time he stopped, he'd lost his third family, then switched from work to alcohol. Thankfully, he got through it and seems to have his priorities straight so he doesn't miss his youngest ones growing up.

His music and his goofiness come through it all, and it's amazing to read about all he's done, and to see his influence on much of the 70s to 90s, at least.

He's achieved legend status, and I only wish I'd seen him in concert. If given the chance, maybe one day, but if he retires in peace, it's well deserved.

I applaud him for "Another Day (in Paradise)", because there are always those who criticize, but even if he hadn't been there, he's aware of those who have, and helps in his own way.

Great stories about his family, all his time with Genesis, and so many other stars and good causes.

Warts and all, his story is compelling, inspiring, funny, tragic and sad. I'm a long time fan and this book reminds me why and has sent me back into the archives of my iTunes catalog to listen again.
