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

This was assigned reading for school. At first, I was not looking forward to this book because I couldn't care less about celebrities, but Noah is thankfully one of the few interesting ones. You get some great history into South Africa. Reading about Noah's life was enjoyable.
