Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Although Clarkson has produced previous best-selling biographies of Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, the author's latest effort does not live up to his abilities. This book is advertised by its American distributors as "the first-ever complete biography" of Sting. However, it does not include a complete discography or filmography, it is full of British slang that will be difficult for an American audience to follow, and the last third of the book?covering from about the 1985 demise of The Police to the present?reads like a series of newspaper clippings strung together. Still, earlier portions of the book detailing Sting's development are better and include interviews with people important in his growth to superstar. Recommended for public libraries who own no other books on Sting or The Police.?Regina L. Beach, Mississippi State Univ. Libs.

I had never had the opportunity to read any type of in depth articles or biographies about the life of Gordon Sumner prior to this biography. For this reason, I am rating this book with 5 stars. If you've been hungry for something for quite a few years, and you've finally been given a small taste of it, it is going to be quite satisfying. This small piece of such a great mans life was certainly satisfying for me.

A Waste Of A Good Tree
11. August 1998
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is possibly the first attempt to write a 'definitive' biography of Sting, and in our view it fails spectacularly. Borrowing extensively from previous books - especially Sutcliffe and Fielder's "L'Historia Bandido" - and press cuttings the book is littered throughout with careless errors, and dwells, tabloid fashion, on the more sensationalist and 'media friendly' issues such as drugs, his sex life, and his involvement in the rainforest. In an 'exclusive' interview he gave to the Daily Express newspaper at the time of the book's release, Sting said - "I have led a pretty wild life, but none of it's in the book". He gave a more succinct review on Virgin radio when he said that the book was "crap". We don't disagree - it was fun to read at the time because it is about Sting, but it left you feeling a guilty and a little queasy afterwards.

Don't waste your time or money
10. Dezember 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is by far the worst book ever written about Sting. Just by reading it you can tell that the author does not like Sting at all. Sting himself even said the book was (bad)and that none of it is true. So if you are a Sting fan or just want to learn more about the man, don't buy this book, get the "all this time" dvd and you can actually see what of person he is.

Tawdry, cheap, and utterly not worth your time.
8. Januar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you're looking to learn about Sting, this is not the book for you. It reads like a cheap tabloid story, quoting anonymous sources for wild accusations, being downright mean to its subject (and also Sting's former bandmates in The Police, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers). While Sting may have his share of skeletons in his closet and has no doubt lived a wild life, there is little in this book to lead you to actually believe the stories Clarkson tells. Reading this book also left me feeling vaguely uneasy and embarassed, as if I was taking part in spreading and giggling over naughty, mean-spirited gossip like teenage girls in a schoolyard. It's just that juvenile. NOT recommended.
