Autobiographies are hard to review for me. They can be really enjoyable or downright rubbish, depending on the writing. Little Me is the autobiography of Matt Lucas, most famous for Little Britain, Shooting Stars and, more recently, Doctor Who. He's been on TV in many varied, yet always chaotic/alternative comedy roles through all of my adult life so far. Funny and crazy he may be on our screens, but this book has taught me that he is very much like me in many ways.
Importantly, for a book of this type, you can imagine him reading it out loud. His voice was constantly in my head as I read it, and I'm glad to hear he narrated the audiobook form too. The major negative about the book was how negative he sees his life at times. I felt sorry for him, truly I did, but I agree with his mum that in places there was a lot of self-flagellation. However, this did not distract me too much from what is a really good read.
Star rating: 3.5 from 5
This book will be published in the US on 12th October 2018
