Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
4.0
Type of read: Weekend read (ebook)
What made me pick it up: Friend suggested to me.
Overall rating: I really enjoyed 'Born a Crime.' I wouldn't say that I was a huge Trevor Noah fan before reading the book. I like him, I like how he handles the Daily Show, I like his work, but I'm not like 'OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO SEE TREVOR NOAH.' Born a Crime gave a unique perspective to a place I don't think many of us give a second thought. I enjoyed hearing Noah's experiences and stories. I continually had to remind myself that what he was writing about, such as the time frames, didn't happen that long ago...which completely boggled my mind. I liked Noah's writing style and cadence. I would definitely recommend Born a Crime and consider it to be a good read.
