i would definately recommend the audiobook for this. 
the flow of the book was amazing and patricia (his mother) absolutely stole the show. 
the story is told with insight, care and compassion. 
truly amazing.

nibs's review against another edition

challenging funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

Wow. So much happened in the author's early life. It was such a personal and engaging read. I have read about Apartheid-era South Africa before, but knew very little about the legacy of Apartheid in post-Apartheid South Africa.
The light hearted tone of of this book counters  the heavier topics really well. It's grounded in his reality. I would recommend this book to many people because of its readability. I just learnt so much from reading this.

I though Trevor's mother had been killed, and I was so mad and gutted. It is so so lucky that she survived that.
