I am a massive Take That fan and really enjoyed finding out more about Gary and his journey from the beginning in the music business. It also helped me to understand why Gary and Robbie didn't hit it off as youngsters.

This is like reading the longest Wikipedia entry of all time. It takes a very specific skill to turn an interesting career into a soulless laundry list of facts. I regret slogging it out no matter how much I like Barlow.
