This book ended up being so much more than I bargained for. Originally, I had an Audible credit to burn and was looking for something easy and light. This was not that. While Trevor Noah has the ability to find humor in anything and this book was a quick read, I cannot characterize the events of Noah's life as easy or light. In sharing his journey with us, Noah also gives us a look at South Africa under Apartheid and explains its horrors to those who might be unfamiliar. It is a wonder that Trevor Noah grew up to be as funny as he is, and to live the life he now leads, given the things he's been through. I have immense respect for him and was glad to have read this book.
