- Broken Music
When Sting announced that he was writing a memoir, like most people we thought that the book would focus on the life of Sting the rock star and of Sting the celebrity. After all, he has sold close to 100 million albums around the world, fronted the most successful band of the early '80s, subsequently pursued a solo career that has outstripped the success of his Police days in album sales, has been a long-time supporter of good causes raising some $18 million for the Rainforest Foundation, and is generally recognised as one of the most famous people on the planet. It was a no-brainer.

Except that Sting is a self confessed risk taker.

So perhaps we should not be too surprised that his memoir, 'Broken Music', is a product of that risk taking. Instead of opting for the easy ... Read More

- A Sting Fan's Long-Awaited Treasure
Being a book addict, I have waited for this book since I first came under the spell of Sting in 1983, and it is a testament to why I have adored this man since I was 16.

- WONDERFUL BOOK
Incredible as it seems, maybe this could be a first in rock: A memoir that is closer to Paul Auster or Roddy Doyle than to a book about a celebrity.
The prose is exquisite (some may say that too high brow), like the lirics of his songs; the emotion genuine and touching; the cadence, well, it reads like a family saga; respectful to all the persons involved, seldom seen in the pop world, showing integrity above all, not cheap gossip or yellow pages here.

Fascinating.

FELICIDADES STING, TUS PRIMERAS ACTUACIONES FUERON EN ESPAÑA! UN HONOR.
