Making It So by Patrick Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was lucky to read this on Libby Audio. I must admit that hearing Sir Patrick’s voice made it so–much better than (see what I did there?)
This book takes you on Sir Stewart’s life journey from the beginning through even the pandemic, bringing the reader (listener) as close to the present as possible.
For me, there were a lot of surprises. But I am not much of a follower of movie stars. I have always enjoyed Star Trek and enjoyed our knight’s appearances in a few cartoons. The sad part of my life is that I never got to take classes or learn about Shakespeare; so much of his work is lost on me. Still, I guess the best part of a book is that it piques one’s curiosity. I need to check out the Bard and learn more than a little bit that I have been introduced to. I can sing the songs of Oliver. Does that count?
Anyway, gathering a congregation of Trekkies to learn what Sir Patrick can teach us of William, not Shatner. That’s what this book inspires. I plan to become more aware.

It seems “Making It So” gave you a fascinating glimpse into Sir Patrick Stewart’s life, especially with his narration adding a special touch. Don’t worry about Shakespeare; exploring his works can be an adventure on its own. Keep delving into new territories, and who knows, you might soon be quoting the Bard like a pro! And, thanks for this post.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment!
