Reviews

"I know it's a bit of a cliche but I enjoy reading autobiographies which take me on a journey, and it's a real delight to travel along the route that Sir Karl has travelled as he made his way through the musical events which describe his life story. His love of music is obvious and this comes across in the warmth of his words and in the fine attention to the smallest detail, but it is in the love for his family and friends, and his enthusiastic affinity for his homeland, where he comes across so passionately ... I really enjoyed reading this autobiography and now, whenever I listen to Karl Jenkins' inspirational music, I will, undoubtedly be reminded of the man behind the music." -- Jo Barton, JaffaReadsToo blog; "A well-written volume ... Plus, some of the extra informational snippets are gems. He is the world's most performed composer, so Karl Jenkins' autobiography was always going to be a story worth telling - not least because his career trajectory has been such a colourful one." - Charlotte Gardner, Sinfini.com
