About this listen

 The long-awaited memoir from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart!

From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations with his indelible command of stage and screen. Now, he presents his long-awaited memoir, MAKING IT SO, a revealing portrait of an artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.©2023 Camm Lane, Inc.

Critic reviews

‘Patrick’s early life is a Dickensian tale of domestic violence and misfortune, transformed by chance and some good folk into the actor internationally admired and loved. He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth and passion. Another Stewart Triumph!’ (Sir Ian McKellen)
‘There is so much to say about Sir Patrick. He is an amazing actor, great to look at, really funny and up for anything. He is a kind man… compassionate and sensitive…. but, as you will find when you read the book, his greatest asset as a human being is the fact that he is so completely and unapologetically himself’ (Whoopi Goldberg)
‘I read this book in a state of wonder, not just for the author’s gifts as a nuanced storyteller and sharp observer, but for those other remarkable gifts, of intelligence, sensitivity, wit, intuition, self-awareness and élan that were bestowed on him when he came into the world – all of which he has freely shared with us so long and so beautifully; and finished reading in a state of deep gratitude for the gifts, and the gift, of Patrick Stewart’

(Michael Chabon)
‘What a glorious memoir Sir Patrick Stewart has written. His prose is elegant and beautiful, diamond-like in its clarity and precision, and his recollections of his life are full of tenderness, insight, candour and pathos. If he hadn't been so busy all these years being a great actor, delighting us all, he could have been a great writer, and now with this book, he is one’ (Jonathan Ames)

Patrick's voice is so soothing, I couldn't help but finish it far too quickly. His life opened up thoughts and feelings about my own and made me double take some pre-conceptions. A fascinating listen. Well worth the time.

A great story of an icon

Sir Patrick, shares his best and worse times. My only criticism is that I wanted more depth at times to some of the stories. In a life so rich in experiences, this could have been several volumes.

Doesn’t skip life’s complexity

It was lovely. I got this primarily for Jean Luc although I wouldn't call myself a massive Trek fan, it's just TNG and Voyager tend to be my go-to comfort food. I loved Picard too, and was curious about who the real Patrick Stewart might turn out to be.

The whole 'Dog and Trumpet' thing makes sense now!!!

I hope to one day see Pat in a play, the little snippet of Shakespeare was quite an eye (ear) opener! All in all extremely enjoyable.

Will definitely be read again!

I just wanted to thank Sir Patrick for sharing this with us. I had some trepidation coming into this book, akin to "never meet your heros". There have been, in the past, some memoirs which have made my hero's seem lesser to me. This was assuredly not the case in this instance. So, once again, Thank You.

Thank you
