Artist Summary: Rod Stewart". CARAS. Archived from the original on 17 July 2014 . Retrieved 25 February 2013. Thankfully Rod didn't spend eons on his childhood - a pet peeve of mine when reading memoirs. Only very very rarely does someone's childhood and family history warrant more than a few chapters. Rod establishes that he had a regular, happy childhood. Admits he was a bit spoiled. Then after a few chapters he moves onto his teenage years and his beginnings on the music scene and then the fame & fortune. I don't know whether Stewart wrote all of Rod himself but if he did he deserves respect and if he didn't I hope his ghost – rumoured to be journalist Giles Smith – is getting a decent slice of the action. The writing is a cut above workmanlike, the tone pitched right and the jokes good. Each chapter is given a whimsical 18th-century-style subheading, beginning with the dry: "In which our hero is born, just over six years of global conflict ending shortly thereafter ..."Thomas M.
