Going back to look across a life full of high notes as well as the lows, both sides of the page are full of reflection that can be taken at face value. But (more) seriously this is a story of how the simple things are the most important when it comes to a successful life, irrespective of fame and money. Very honest, personal and frank, Collins' love of music and family dances out of every page, to this I will testify.

Enjoyable read, albeit a little too long. Not only is Phil Collins extremely talented, he is also incredibly hardworking and dedicated to his craft. It was interesting learning about his life and career.

I love Genesis, and my favourite part of the book was hearing about the band, its formation and its incredible music. Phil Collins is absolutely the most talented person to walk the planet and to have so much success in his career. I'm not sure he learned his lessons, and I'm certainly not sure he is very apologetic. The book was a bit dry, but interestingly enough reading and stopping to listen to the songs mentioned was great fun. A bit of a run on, didn't need to be that long, and a little woe is me.
Still one of my favourite artists of all time. Just a little disappointed in his personal story.
