Really interesting book but a challenging read. Challenges a lot of preconceptions I had about South Africa and its people. Glad I read it.

Learned so much both about colonialism in South Africa and its history as well as Trevor Noah. He is so funny and has an excellent balance of seriousness as well as humor. Very enjoyable read, though sad and eye-opening.
