Not a fan of memoirs but this was way better than I expected. Funny, sad, at times violent. Informed me about growing up in the townships of South Africa with a sprinkling of local history too. Recommended.

An engaging and honest autobiography about growing up as apartheid broke and the aftermath of years of oppression.
I knew nothing about Trevor Noah before reading this, and quickly learnt he is a comedian which comes across in his writing, even when talking about dark topics like crime and domestic violence.

My one critique was that it was written in a jumbled order and not chronologically, which made it hard to follow at times.
