Possibly the best book I’ve read all year. If I could give 10 stars I would. So well written. Perfect combination of funny, interesting, and emotional. I have no words, it’s just amazing.

It's incredible to think that you can be born on two different continents and yet have experienced something so similar.
Much of what he talks about in this book, from racism and societal pressures to struggling with family dynamics, being the outsider and having to adapt to hardships, is very relatable and close to home.
One funny thing that struck me was when he talked about how his brain started to store things that happened around him in English, even when people, including himself, were speaking another language at the time. I always thought that was a strange thing to do just to make it easier for me to remember and recall certain events. I am glad to know that I am not the only one.

No podía parar de leer, Trevor Noah no sólo es encantador sobre el escenario o frente a una cámara, también lo es narrando. Leer las historias de su infancia y juventud, además de contarnos sobre su pasado, nos abre los ojos a la realidad que muchos vivieron en el apartheid sudafricano siendo de raza mixta; cuenta sus experiencias con el racismo, la pobreza, la delincuencia y otros temas difíciles con gran naturalidad y humor.
«Born a Crime» es como sentarse a un café con Trevor Noah y escuchar anécdotas de su vida.

An amazing book: it’s joyful and funny to read and at the same time conveys a lot of context and background narrative to live in South Africa and how Trevor experienced apartheid. I feel like I had a chance to look at a completely different word through they eyes and perspective of someone else; someone growing up as a colored boy. Highly relatable and definitely recommended!
