This was about how you'd imagine reading stories from the childhood of a renowned comedian would be. It's funny at times, reflective at times, and straight up traumatic at times. Overall, a nice read. But prepare to read it in chunks because the stories are bit disjointed and the book doesn't flow well as a cohesive story.

Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early November, mostly during the aftermath of a fretful, confounding election that was informed by the dutiful, enlightening Daily Show.
Born a Crime is not in the least bit a crime - it taught me an exceeding amount about South African culture, dialects, street politics, the shadowed legacy of apartheid, as well as being intelligently frugal and the alternatingly tenuous and ironclad bonds of family.

This made me adore Trevor even more than I already had.
