Really loved this book a lot. Anyone who has felt anxiety, that they can't find their place in the world, or just not good enough will connect with it very well. For those who have had a relative suffer from Dementia, it's an all too familiar story told with emotion and love.

what a brilliant memoir.
usually I stay away from celebrity memoirs but this one was so clearly uninterested in being a glamourised run-through of his career that I felt it was worth trying.
what a thoughtful and insightful take on his life, linking his relationship with his dad and his mental health issues brilliantly with how these things impact his career. he's also got some great points to make about being working class and the intellect you find in working class communities, even if middle/upper class people think we're all common idiots. I'm so glad I read this.
I found out after reading that this was ghostwritten, which at first made me apprehensive about giving it a good review but honestly, I enjoyed it so why shouldn't it get a 5 star review! From what I can find from interviews, it was written verbatim from Christopher eccleston's meetings with the ghostwriter so I don't doubt this is still an authentic piece of nonfiction.
