Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

The best decision I made was choosing to read this book. The better decision was choosing to listen to it as an audiobook instead. It felt less like a memoir and more of a history and sociology lecture. An exciting history and sociology lecture. I have learnt so much about South Africa- the culture... the dynamics of race and apartheid. Most importantly I got a human story about the people through the tiny glimpse offered by the perspective of one person. Trevor is a brilliant story teller... intelligent, witty and oh so funny. The only negative thing I have to say is that this book left me craving for more.
