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 book is absolutely magnificent. It's fast paced and easy to read, because each chapter is a totally new short story from Trevor's childhood in South Africa. The way he writes is hilarious, and he talks about global issues and themes through his unique upbringing and identity. I would recommend this book to anyone :)
