This is written exactly how  you see Trevor in TV and I think that's hilarious. There are stories I related to a lot about a religious mom and stories that made me laugh so hard, but also some that were just like woah I can't believe that happened! Definitely a must read!

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

Great autobiography, Trevor Noah is able to fit serious topics such as

abuse, attempted murder, sexual violence

as well being able to tell funny stories without derailing the tone of the book.

This book (along with 'A long Walk to Freedom') has given me a tremendous insight into (Post) Apartheid South Africa and I strongly recommend even if your not a fan of the author.
