Born a Crime

Trevor Noah

4.56 AVERAGE


Listened to this on audiobook and Trevor Noah’s narration added incredible depth to such a well-written memoir.

4.5 / 5

Found this in a random secondhand bookstore in Shanghai and couldn’t believe my luck.

Incredibly well written and i was so invested from start to finish despite not knowing much about Noah before reading
challenging hopeful informative inspiring sad fast-paced

I learned a lot about South Africa, with good comparisons also to the USA. Inspiring to see what people can do even when subject to terrible conditions. His mom is quite a role model. Great read.

I loved him before; I love him more now.

Picked this book randomly off my shelf and finished it in around a week. Trevor’s ability to tell such an emotive personal story with a comedic element is so inspiring and engaging.
