Yes, same.
I've not finished it yet, but he was much more politically active from an early age than I knew - I guess that shouldn't be surprising but I found it so.
I'd assumed he was a barrister and came to politics in the same way that business people do from time to time, but that doesn't seem to have been the case at all.

I didn't realise he was one of the original members of Doughty Street. Or as left wing at heart as it seems like he may be.
Overall I thought it was good and gave me confidence he has what it takes as PM.
Refreshing to have a leader from a working class background with experience of leading a large public institution, and a demonstrable commitment to human rights.

Also Origin Story has an episode on Starmer which I found interesting.
