The most entertaining bits are his stories about progressing from a very humble start in life, making it as an English stage actor, culminating in making it to the pinnacle as a regular in the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Less stories about TNG than I would have thought.
His relationships with women weren’t anything great though… Under the circumstances, about bang average.
I am about 80% through it as an audiobook (waiting for it to come back from the library) and I agree. Great to listen to him, tons of non Trek info I didn’t know that is still quite interesting.
Not the best husband to be sure, but I do like that he’s pretty up front about it. Seems like his first marriage was effectively over as soon as he found American success and his wife (understandably) didn’t want to abandon her own career in the UK. Hard to listen to Capt. Picard be unfaithful (with Vash no less!) but I felt for him more than most egomaniac rock stars who fuck anything that moves.
EDIT: Also loved how he hates Thatcher for demolishing all of the programs he used to get trained as an actor coming from a poor background. There was a lot of mutual aid in his early life that seems non-existent today.
