Genuinely the best biography I’ve read. One of the very few books I had already decided to reread before actually finishing it.

This starts a little slow - quite a few chapters about his childhood. But it makes sense why he devoted that much time there

This book is such a wonderfully raw and honest account of his own life, from childhood memories, to his various acting roles, his struggles with depression and anorexia and how all this and more have been shaped by his relationship with his father and being from a working class background. I listened to this as an audiobook and it was such a lovely and interesting insight into his life. I really enjoyed reading this!!
Very touching, interesting and resonant. I've admired Christopher Eccleston for a long time because of his honesty and his unwillingness to play the fame game the way actors are expected to, and those qualities shine through in this book.
