Yes, I've read the book and really enjoyed it. It's more of a psychological memoir. Maybe a book about forgiveness, for his parents and himself. His writing style is quite good, readable and erudite at same time, almost poetic at times. He writes in detail about working with his dad (no real stories about brother and sisters). He also tells us quite a bit about his musical career before the Police, his first marriage, his life as young father. His meeting with Stew and Stew's household is funny, and particularly funny is his CONSTANT mentioning about how fast Stewart drummed. He also writes fully about his experience taking ayahuasca - very interesting. Reads like a past life, though Sting denys believing in reincarnation saying too many people think they were Charles I or Marilyn Monroe (don't know whom he talks to!) Paula
