Sir Lenny Henry is one of the country's best-loved comedians with a career spanning over forty years. Here he writes about his youth for the first time.

In 1975, a gangly black sixteen-year-old apprentice factory worker from Dudley appeared on our TV screens for the first time. He had no idea he would go on to become a national treasure. Here at last, Sir Lenny Henry tells the revealing and very funny story of his rise to fame.

Surviving a tough family upbringing, along with the trauma of finding out the truth about his father at a young age, Lenny beat the odds. With a riotous warmth and his trademark energy, in Who Am I, Again? he tells the heart-breakingly honest and inspirational story of his youth.

I definitely thought that this was a good book. Lenny even gives us a nostalgic `oooooooooooookeeeeeeeeeeeeeey` which is worth the price of the book alone. For me though, it did finish a bit early, and I was left wondering, what about the Lenny Henry Show? What about Dawn French? I got the impression that he cut if off early to leave room for a Who am I, again? part two, perhaps entitled Who am I again, again? I still can`t remember. Overall, very good, nice one Len.

Pretty good, but stops a bit abruptly.

I enjoyed this memoir about Lenny Henry’s early life and career. He narrated it himself which was great as he has such a lovely rich velvety voice. This also made the whole story very authentic for me and supported my view that he was a thoroughly decent human being who has a sense of his own worth which is grounded by his family and friends. I recommend this gently humorous read and its intelligent views on life.

Interesting memoir

Thanks was interesting and amusing book but, like other have said, it just suddenly ends, it doesn't draw to an end it just stops. This would be ok if the second volume was following closely but it isn't.

Bizarre ending, Part 2 needed asap
