Book Reviews of Strange Things Happen: A Life with The Police, Polo, and Pygmies
Book Review: set the table
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were a massive fan of the police as i was then you may be thinking whats the point in buying this book , heard it all before in music papers ,police story books, heard the interviews on radio ,seen every documentary on tv . many years down the line after the band folded we had sting with his moving autobigraphy broken music , andy summers took us on a magical journey with his one train later and now its stewarts turn with strange things happen .
Some might say do we need yet another account of the police story , they gave us great music , they are all brilliant talented musicians and also in my opinion great wordsmiths , after reading all three autobiographies its easy to understand how they they managed to create one of the best bands in the history of music .
stewarts book is no exception in the first two pages he manages to ecapsulate his life story in the first chapter ''letter to a friend '' a true master stoke , but then he moves on to provide the reader with truely amazing , rivetting stories of his journey through life so far which makes for a cracking read , i particularly like the opening chapters when one morning after retiring from the police stewart looks in his wardrobe and wonders just what the hell does he wear now .
laced with great stories , rich in vocabulary from an articulate , acute observer , a feast of a book , enjoyed it immensely .
