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

emotional funny informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

I knew nothing about Trevor Noah except for the fact that he was behind the desk of The Daily Show, and now after listening to the audiobook I can say that his life is one of the most incredible things I've ever read. I didn't know much about what to expect from this but I learned more about what apartheid truly was and how it shaped South Africa, and from beginning to end I was hooked by Trevor's memories and life stories and the way he narrated them. I now get why people always said the audiobook version was miles better, I cannot imagine a better way for this to be read.

I also can't forget to mention the star of this book, his mom. This was a clear homage to Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah and I admire her so so much.
