About this listen
How does a kid called Tom Holland, who never had a speaking part in a school play, find himself playing Marvel's Peter Parker?
A series of happy coincidences and serendipitous events is the answer. A fluke, then? Yes, but not exactly, given that huge amounts of commitment and hard work have been required. Eclipsed is the unlikely but true story of an ordinary family, muddling through life without much of a plan and dealing with circumstances that confound normal expectations. Written by a dad who as a professional comedian took his own shot at show-biz stardom and called Eclipsed because his carefully honed plans didn't work out so well.
Written with great affection and endearing pride, Eclipsed is as funny and entertaining as it is interesting. A parenting guide like no other. A behind-the-scenes insight in to show-biz and a moral tale about effort, hope and the value of being determined to just keep on keeping on.
Listeners across the world have loved Eclipsed. Get on board today with this most heartwarming, endearing tale of family life and one with the happiest ending ever.

The story itself is heartfelt, exciting and full of love! The talks with Tom after certain chapters were insightful and fun to listen to.
I highly recommend this audiobook to parents and to anyone who is curious to know more about Tom's story.
A beautiful story told by a proud father

It's lovely to hear the story from the point of view of a proud parent, watching it all unfold and wondering how, but at the same time explaining just how much work has been undertaken by Tom, and the support of the family around him to enable it to happen. It could be cloying and sycophantic to hear a parent talking about their offspring's achievements for 10 hours, but Dominic's comparisons to his own career and comedic wit make it funny, heart warming and a really easy listen.
The book is narrated by Dominic himself, with occasional chats with Tom at the end of chapters to provide another perspective on the same story, or to reflect on again after a number of years have passed.
A great listen.
Incredible story!

I bought the book for my brother last year.
Spotted the audio was up just as a credit came in, how serendipitous.
The unexpected father / son chats added an extra familial dimension and reminds us we’re all human.
Will be looking out for more of his work. Now off to google urban arts.
