Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
inspiring
tense
medium-paced
4.0
In this memoir Trevor Noah dives right in to his childhood growing up in South Africa. Boy does he have some stories to tell. He has you cracking up at his antics and one-liners one minute and gasping the next. I found this book both page-turning and eye-opening. He also has a modified version of this book for middlegrade to YA kids (necessary due to language and content) that I am also interested in picking up to compare.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Child abuse, Cursing, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Gun violence, Racism, and Violence
