Book Reviews of Broken Music: A Memoir
Book Review: The Most Entertaining and Endearing Rock Biography I've Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I love biographies and autobiographies of rock stars. I have read dozens of them. This is by far the best one yet. Not because I am a huge fan of Sting's music. I like it okay, but he is not my favorite artist by a long shot, but despite this I am telling you right now that this is a very interesting, insightful, entertaining and down right hilarious book to read. I highly recommend it! It has all of the elements you are looking for in a book of this genre. I couldn't put it down and I found myself laughing out loud frequently throughout. Also, I have to say that my respect for Sting as an artist and as a man went up tremendously and I found myself downloading lots of his music after reading this delightful book. Well done Sting!!
Summary of Broken Music: A Memoir
Having been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done.And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know.
I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that?s ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became.
