    5 Stars The Not So Easy Life Of Lee Review with images 16/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great page turning read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Introduction:- I was actually unaware of the fact that Lee Evans had any plans to release an autobiography, or in fact had released one until I saw that The Life of Lee had been listed as product of the week on Ciao earlier this week. Being a big fan of Lee Evans along with the added bonus that whatever happens I would get at least a little of the purchase price back for writing this review I couldn’t help but pick up a hardback copy of this book for the price of £9.99 when I next visited my local Sainsbury’s store. As a rule I enjoy autobiographies and non-fiction and generally prefer them to ... more

    5 Stars ~ * Lovely Lee * ~ 12/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Funny, Nice Guy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!

    I LOVE LEE EVANS! Being a love-a-laugh person, Lee Evans is right up my street because he has such an unusual and in a way old-fashioned kind of comedy style. Not only is he a great comedian, but he is also a great physical comedian who never fails to get me into a stitch of laughter. I recently watched Lee Evans on The Jonathon Ross Show - and what a great laugh he was. He was on the show promoting his new book, and that is the first time that I heard about it. ~ * About The Book * ~ The book is called: “The Life Of Lee” which I think is a really catchy title. The book was released in October ... more

    5 Stars Good Evans! 17/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A very honest and humbling look at a life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stops a little earlier than I would have liked

    I’ve long been a big fan of Lee Evans and at a recent show of his at the O2, I was excited to notice a board advertising his autobiography, with the legend “Coming Soon”. Wasting no time the following morning, I wandered into Waterstone’s to discover that “Coming Soon” translated as “out the day before” and at half price, the book didn’t stay long on the shelf. The “Life of Lee” tells Lee Evans’ life story from growing up on a tough estate in Bristol, to his move to Essex and meeting with his wife, Heather. It covers his first ever prize-winning performance on stage and shows you the paths Lee ... more

    5 Stars The high and low's of Lee Evans 17/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant comedian, funny, dark, honest, not what you may expect

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Needs more telling of his life now and not all in the past

    **Why I want this book?** Like many people out there I regard Lee Evans as a genius, I think he is fantastic and brilliant of the things he does. He is remarkable funny, yet he doesn't seem to see it, which makes him even the more funny more humble than before and more so than any other comedian out there today. I have been lucky enough to be able to see Lee Evans Live at his BIG Tour at Sheffield, which was everything I thought it would be and more. He was so funny my sides and mouth hurt from laughing so much and I honestly thought I could not laugh anymore until he said something or did ... more

    5 Stars Funniest and most humble man alive 13/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great read, very funny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages left hanging for the rest of his autobiography

    Lee Evans is a living legend and in my eyes the funniest man alive. i recently went to watch him perform his new stand up act and it was mind blowing i was in stitches. so to see he had brought out the first part of his autobiography was wonderfull. it follows the first 18 years of his life and how he hhandled growing up with next to nothing, the book is full of stories of lee as a child and his father. this book is a must have for anyone who enjoys lee evans as a performer and it is fascinating to hear about his childhood, it is a very funny and avery humble read and would make an ideal ... more
