This was my book club selection. I didn't expect much which is why I'm floored by how good it was!!! I'm typically not very drawn to bio books but this was entertaining, educational and, quite simply, a delightful read.

This book was so good! I have always loved Trevor Noah and I am so glad I got to read about his life and childhood and all of the crazy things he went through as a mixed kid in South Africa during Apartheid. This book is so so good please read it!

Echt een ongelooflijk sterk verhaal. Om te lezen hoe deze man is opgegroeid en wat hij allemaal heeft moeten meemaken en hoe hij eruit is gekomen is echt bizar.
