Publisher's summary

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.

Dominic and Tom Holland Sweet and Funny Together

I have listened to this through twice now and it is pure gold. Dominic is so funny and his dry English whit is the perfect pair to the chapter breaks he shares with his son. The book is a lovely tale of a father who was successful with a child that takes things to a whole new level. A wonderful lesson in parenting, love and understanding. Fans of Tom Holland will love to hear him having a chat with his Dad. Parents will love Dominic's views on life. Very enjoyable and I highly recommend. Spiderman has a dad and he's very funny!

Great listen!!

This was so worth the money. Dominic Holland is so funny and his takes on life are even funnier with a great lesson on... so many things. Getting to hear him talk to his son and the memories they had watching Tom grow up and become THE BEST SPIDERMAN among all of his fantastic projects. You can see why Tom is so grounded. He has great parents who are committed to all 4 boys. I enjoyed hearing Dom and Tom talk and Dom tell his story.

Loved it! Funny, heartfelt, and interesting!

I loved this book years ago when I read it and I enjoyed it even more the second time around as the audiobook. I greatly appreciate when the author reads the book themselves because it makes it so much more personal. Eclipse is funny, honest, and explores the extraordinary connection between a father and son. A unique addition to the audiobook are short chats between Dominic and Tom after most chapters reminiscing. Highly recommend!

Genuine!

Enjoyed, start to finish. Appreciated the affection, support, ethics of this family & father-son(s), husband-wife relationships which can also be discerned in the young actor's presence on screen.
I often don't care for an author-read listen, but this was perfection.
