Review of 'Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Fascinating biography of Trevor Noah, telling the remarkable stories of his childhood as a mixed race child in apartheid South Africa where he was unable to acknowledge either parent in public as his very existence was a crime. Through the fall of apartheid and the difficulties of extreme poverty and growing up with an abusive step-father, this biography is both an interesting history of South Africa and the riveting personal story of the now well-known comedian. The audio book is read by Noah himself.
