Let me tell you Trevor has a fun, and intriguing way of telling his life story. Almost every chapter I read was comical especially the newspaper and poop part.

Many women go through what Trevor's mum experienced. We always want to see the good in someone, we always want to make them better. Its sad to see how patriachal the African society is especially when it comes to GBV. A huge lesson to women that first slap/kick/punch is a doorway to many more and eventually death. Walk away!

You can see he gets his humor, if not his faith, from his mom; super interesting to read about his life (and language abilities/adoption!) in South Africa.

This book was so good! I have always loved Trevor Noah and I am so glad I got to read about his life and childhood and all of the crazy things he went through as a mixed kid in South Africa during Apartheid. This book is so so good please read it!

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