Book Reviews of One Train Later: A Memoir

Book Review: The engaging story of a man and his passion for the guitar
Summary: 5 Stars

Andy Summers has always been my favorite police man. Even though Sting has enjoyed great fame, Andy's had an interesting solo career. So, when I found out he had written a memoir, I knew I had to read it. As I began reading it I couldn't put it down. This is the story of a man and his passion for the guitar and the journey to success with the Police.
This book is so well written that you'll always want to read one more chapter. Highly recommend it.

Summary of One Train Later: A Memoir

"A disarming, surprising literary memoir by the ex-Police guitarist . . . A rollicking you-are-there history of the 60s-80s rock era."---Entertainment Weekly
?
In this extraordinary memoir, world-renowned guitarist Andy Summers provides the revealing and passionate account of a life dedicated to music. From his first guitar at age thirteen and his early days on the English music scene to the ascendancy of his band, the Police, Summers recounts his relationships and encounters with the Big Roll Band, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, the Animals, John Belushi, and others, all the while proving himself a master of telling detail and dramatic anecdote.
?Andy's account of his role as guitarist for the Police---a gig that was only confirmed by a chance encounter with drummer Stewart Copeland on a London train---has been long-awaited by music fans worldwide. The heights of fame that the Police achieved have rarely been duplicated, and the band's triumphs were rivaled only by the personal chaos that such success brought about, an insight never lost on Summers in the telling. Complete with never-before-published photos from Summers's personal collection, One Train Later is a constantly surprising and poignant memoir, and the work of a world-class musician and a first-class writer.
