Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

5.0

Incredible. I cried, I laughed, I learnt. It’s the perfect mix of heartfelt moments with some nice comedic relief sections to keep it from being to dark. I feel like I learnt so much about how it was to be mixed during and straight after apartheid. You can study it as much as you want in the history book but you won’t understand as well as after reading this. The best thing is your learn whilst enjoying it, that’s the best thing about biographies, you don’t even realise it’s happening. I agree with about 5 different quotes from the cover and blurb, it truly is essential reading. Didn’t know anything about Trevor Noah going in to this but now I want to watch his stuff and read his second biography. Also go Hitler might be one of the funniest things I’ve read
