I read this hoping to teach it to my middle schoolers, which I did; they loved it! It's rare to get that many students to enjoy a book that they are forced to read. There is so much to be learned from this memoir. I learned a ton about apartheid and South African culture, and so did my students. This is such a valuable book in that regard. It is funny (as you'd expect from a comedian), and the young readers version manages to capture heavy content without being too dark.
