I feel a bit weird reviewing an autobiography, because it is the account of someones life, so most adjectives feel a bit empty to use. But what I will say is that I'm grateful to Trevor Noah for having the courage to share these pieces of himself with the world, and I feel like I learned a lot about his home country and his family.I'm very glad I read this book and would highly recommend to other readers.

This was a great listen. I got to hear what South Africa was like (as much as I can) during apartheid and after. I’m glad it was part of the Reading Around the World Challenge from StoryGraph, it makes me want to learn more about it as well as other African countries.
