What a boring, boring, boring book about a person that would make Narcissus seem like an amateur...

For goodness sake, no wonder his house is as large as it is - to house most of his ego...

It's a real pity as I actually like some of his music...

Secret life!!!... Secret life!!........ Please....

I tell you far from being secret... I already knew much of what I read.

Save tha Amazon... how about the rest of the planet mate... trade in your gas guzzling Jags and 4x4's.... you egotistical toss-pot!

I struggled through this book. Found it tedious and it actually turned me off Sting, even though I still love his music. The book just seemed to go on and on for ever and I still don't feel like I know Sting any better.
