emmaahlerup's review against another edition
3.0
Personligt skriven inblick i Sydafrikas moderna historia, berättad så det känns som att man var där. Märks att det är en komiker som skriver, men humorn och värmen tar inte bort allvaret och eländet utan snarare tydliggör det. På samma gång tragisk, folkbildande och rolig. Det som drar ner betyget är den taffliga svenska översättningen. Rekommenderar att läsa den på engelska!

I thought I was listening to an action novel. I am blown away at the stark difference between the Trevor Noah we see and think we know on TV to his childhood. Trevor’s mom is definitely a woman of strong faith, love and wisdom. I love his truth about language and racism. I really enjoyed this book.

I think this book is honestly just an ode to his mom for doing an amazing job raising him under horrible circumstances. I found it very educational about the South African culture during and after apartheid. I love the story and his mom is a bad ass!

This is a wonderful book. Trevor Noah did an excellent job. When I finished reading this book I held it in my hands, paused, and just breathed.

This was an absolutely incredible book. One of the top 2 I've read in the last several years. I highly recommend it. Noah is an amazing storyteller, and has lived an incredible life. I hope he writes more. I would definitely recommend listening to this one--his narration adds so much.
