i would definately recommend the audiobook for this. 
the flow of the book was amazing and patricia (his mother) absolutely stole the show. 
the story is told with insight, care and compassion. 
truly amazing.

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!

The thing I have always loved about Trevor Noah is how brilliant of a storyteller he is, and it certainly shines through here! Trevor has incredibly insightful social commentary (as always) which is peppered throughout his reflections on different stories that shaped his early life. I learned so much about South Africa, and the very grassroots impacts of apartheid which I don't think I'd have learned otherwise. Really really good book.
