I loved Lenny’s book. I listened to him read it, and he even sang some parts of it. He’s such a sweet soul. I thought his story was fascinating. Lenny worries about his hair and clothes a little too much, but hey, how can he be the king of cool without worrying about his hair and clothes?

This was a good book but I didn’t grow up listening to his music or a huge fan or anything, so I think the book would’ve resonated more if I had been a big fan. Sounds like, based on the ending, a sequel is coming? Yeah, it also seemed weird to end it after the release of his first album - I want a FULL story, not just the beginning.

This might be one of my favorite audio memoirs yet. Narrated by Lenny himself, it tells the story of his childhood and ends just as he was acquiring fame, which I appreciate. I found it fascinating to hear how he became the icon he is now instead of after the fame. I didn't know much about him prior to this, so it was very interesting. I could listen to him talk all day, he's got the most soothing voice. Incredibly intimate, I highly recommend it. Now I'm going to go back and listen to his earlier albums and watch any film he's been in. Loved it!

Enjoyed listening to this book, just wish it wasn’t a part one. Appreciated as a fellow only child and mixed ethnicities, his personal search for identity.

Brings you from his birth to the birth of his daughter. Cool to see the bumps in the road and how he persisted.

Great audiobook (narrated by Lenny) and not repetitive! I’m looking forward to the next chapters of his life.
