this is the best audiobook i have found to date, and one of the best memoirs i've "read" too. i liked Patrick Stewart on ST:TNG but wouldn't describe myself as a particular fan of his, but this memoir is extremely charming from beginning to end. some of it is interesting, some is humorous, some is thoughtful, and some is even a little scandalous. throughout, he approaches the tale of his life with honesty, humility and vulnerability. and his reading of it is a delight, sounding as natural as if he's relating these stories to a close friend over dinner.
