It was all sunshine and rainbows until I reached the final chapter, which literally ripped the soul out of me and left me bawling my eyes out. The veritable deluge of emotions I felt after finishing this book was too much to handle for my body. I kept lying in bed for a good half an hour 'cos it had become physically impossible for me to get up. Yeah, it was that intense.

Born a crime is very well written,  hilarious account of the tough life Trevor Noah led growing up in a post apartheid Africa. It's a book that will make you laugh one second and cry the other. I have never seen any show of Trevor Noah but now I would really like to consume all Trevor Noah related content out there in the world; i am so intrigued. I really loved the personality of his mother. She is the real life hero for sure.

Like I said I hardly know the person but learning about his life and his experiences has somehow changed my point of view about my life. Thanks to a book club member for recommending me this book. If it weren't of her, I never would have picked this book up.

A must read! One of the best book I have read this year.
