The Life of Lee

Lee Evans was one of my favourite comedians, before he retired in 2014. The Life of Lee is his autobiography, but if you are expecting to find out what Lee has been up to since retirement, you will be disappointed as this book was published in 2011.
The Life of Lee chronicles Lee's childhood and teenage years, the early days of his marriage, and his first step towards becoming a household name.
There is humour in this autobiography, but it's of the dark variety. There is an undercurrent of sadness. One cannot help but feel for the young boy who felt like an outcast, who was bullied and told that he would never amount to anything.
Happily we can rejoice that Lee proved his detractors wrong.
