adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

Great autobiography, Trevor Noah is able to fit serious topics such as

Spoiler

abuse, attempted murder, sexual violence

as well being able to tell funny stories without derailing the tone of the book.

This book (along with 'A long Walk to Freedom') has given me a tremendous insight into (Post) Apartheid South Africa and I strongly recommend even if your not a fan of the author.

Funny, emotional & jaw dropping. I listened to the whole thing during work. It was a very informative perspective on what it was like growing up in South Africa.
