Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
5.0
I hugged this book. With tears in my eyes, as I read the last sentence, I closed the book, and I hugged it.
Normally, my reaction to a book I love would be to say, ‘What an incredible story!” But this wasn’t just one story, it was multiple stories. Memories of a life of hustle, survival, and trying to figure out where he belonged stitched together to create this unbelievable book.
I can’t believe the life Trevor had growing up. How the hell did he end up in New York City at The Daily Show?! I can’t wait for the reported film adaptation featuring Lupita Nyong'o as his mother, and his follow-up book detailing his journey as a young comedian in South Africa to The Daily Show.
I am shook. I am in awe.
