A review by readwithmeemz
Into the Uncut Grass by Trevor Noah
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? Yes
3.0
An endearing fable in the vein of <i>The Little Prince</i> and <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i>, however missing the charm and meaning that both the aforementioned stories contain. The intent behind the story was clear, but the execution was a bit clunky, and less natural than one would have expected (especially since I felt <i>Born A Crime</i> was so well written). The message of the story was unsubtle and inelegant. I understand that kids’ books don’t need to be profound, but this one just felt hollow and lacked effort, earnestness, or imagination. Not a future classic (in my opinion), but a decent read for a young reader.
The audiobook might end up being fun for the whole family, as Trevor Noah narrates, and makes fun voices for different characters.
