About this deal

What is cleverly advertised as a story about the son, reads more like a love letter to his family and especially his wife. Having read, and enjoyed, the printed version of Eclipsed, I was still pleasantly surprised at how much more enveloping it is to have the story read to you by the person that went through this and was eclipsed by his own son. Written with pride and bemusement by a dad who enjoys seeing his son’s career soar and remains sufficiently delusional to think that his soaring days are ahead. My teacher would say that 1% of us would make it in Hollywood and so many kids would roll their eyes.

However, Eclipsed is a truly funny memoir and biography combined and I found it an enlightening, funny exceptional and enjoyable read from start to finish. But Dominic’s favourite quote comes from the late Bob Monkhouse – ‘Dominic Holland is the UK’s funniest not-yet-famous comedian. Winner of the NAACP, Helen Hayes, and Best New Play awards, Eclipsed is a funny, compassionate, and daring new work. It is part doting, yes, (who wouldn't with a supremely talented offspring like that), but it is also part auto-biography with more brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor than can be expected from anyone with selfish intentions. Helena and Bessie are both the concubinal "wives" of a commanding officer of a rebel militia, living within the rebel army camp.A simultaneously heartwarming and gut-wrenching tale of life as a rebel army wife in civil war Liberia. A set of 20 detailed maps, each covering a 50-year period and centered on the lower 48 states, shows the path of every total and annular eclipse. Fred Espenak is a retired astrophysicist from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and was the agency’s expert on eclipses. My dreams didn't come true but it was thrilling to read about the incredible journey that young Tom has taken, through the eyes of his father who shares those very same dreams.

Eclipsed is written with more brutal honesty and self-deprecating humour than can be expected from anyone with selfish intentions. Patricia Totten Espenak is a retired chemistry teacher and amateur astronomer who has traveled widely with her husband, Fred, to view various celestial events. Great story, peppered with genuinely funny and well-paced anecdotes, I grinned throughout and laughed out loud many times. A Serving of Crime with a Difference - You May Just Discover Something Unique, Different, or Unusual in These 20 Crime Novels.

I was disappointed when I realised I only had a couple of chapters left because I didn't want it to end. Eclipse glasses can allow you to safely view the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, whether you’re in its path in Mexico or the United States.

Written with great affection by a day as bemused as he is proud, Eclipsed is a hilarious story and insight into family life. The 21st Century Canon of Solar Eclipses is the complete guide to every solar eclipse occurring from 2001 tom 2100 (224 eclipse in all). I have never read a play before, but I picked this up for the Reading Woman 2019 Challenge, and it really surprised me! The play's narrative ultimately brings each of the five in conflict with one another as they try to determine how to respond to the war and to each other.

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. The author has the ability to keep things interesting describing the situations in a funny and honest way. The Girl’s choices throughout the play are often informed not only by the civil war ravaging her country but also by the women who are desperate to protect her in what each woman believes to be the best way.
