i would definately recommend the audiobook for this. 
the flow of the book was amazing and patricia (his mother) absolutely stole the show.

truly amazing.

A heart wrenching story with his classic sense of humor. I really appreciated this story as it felt incredibly real.

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.
