Review of 'Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I don't watch The Daily Show regularly; but, I usually enjoy clips when I see them. I generally find Trevor Noah to be funny, clever, and thoughtful. I listened to Trevor reading the book, which added to the story (though, I would have heard his voice in my head even if I had read the book with my eyes).

The book jumps around from time to time and back again, several times, which detracted from my overall enjoyment a little. I learned some things about him that I probably wish I hadn't. Overall, though, it was really interesting to learn of his experience, and I'm glad I read it.
