Amazing biography of Mark Hollis. Narrated by the auther himself. Very pleasant voice. As a huge Talk Talk fan, there was still so incredibly much info I never knew that gets covered here.

This is well-researched, balanced and very interesting, performed in an engaging way. There is very little speculation about Hollis the man, rather the accounts of those who had the sometimes dubious honour of working with this prodigy paint a picture of the parts of him he chose to show, itself very telling. I was entertained throughout, highly recommend.

Essential listening for the Talk Talk enthusiast
