Born a Crime

 Nonfiction by Trevor Noah.


I had heard a lot of good things about this book; still I was reluctant to start reading. I don't often love celebrity memoirs; usually their lives aren't that interesting other than the fact that they are on TV or whatever. And I'd seen Mr. Noah's show briefly and remained unimpressed.

But I'm so glad I did go ahead and read this book. Born in South Africa under apartheid to mixed-race parents and raised partly in hiding, Trevor Noah has an amazing story to tell! The thing I loved the most was reading about his mother, Patricia. She's great! 

I definitely recommend this book.
