I really enjoyed this title from the now-famous comedian, Trevor Noah. Noah has a story unlike any of his colleagues as he grew up in South Africa post-Apartheid. Not only did he grow up during this unique time in history, but he also is biracial, which was a crime in his home country during his childhood. What I liked most about this book was Noah's ability to balance serious moments with comical anecdotes. It made the story easier to read, as the Apartheid and the fallout from it are serious topics. One thing I learned about the author is the importance he places on his family. The relationship between him and his mother was especially prominent in this title. I would love Noah to write a second book highlighting how he started doing comedy and eventually became one of the most prominent comedian talk show hosts today. At only 36 years old, he has had such an interesting life and I believe there is definitely enough material for a second memoir.
