This was amazing. I do not understand how there are people who thought this was bad. My first thought is that it's white people who just don't/won't get what growing up black is like, but I don't want to be that person. As a black woman growing up in racist America, even I cannot imagine what it w...

I barely knew anything about Trevor Noah because I don't follow American late night talk shows, but I found his story to be profoundly eye-opening and an important one to be told. Born to a black mother and a white father in South Africa during apartheid, the fact that Noah exists was in itself cons...

Nie można przejść obojętnie obok polecanej książki przez Marcina Mellera. Zawsze jest trafionym zakupem i warta poświęconego czasu. "Nielegalny." To autobiograficzna książka opisująca z humorem dzieciństwo w strasznych czasach. Uśmiech to swego rodzaju terapia oswajanie zła, aby demony nas po nocach...

Self-portrait of the artist as a very cheeky child. Highly entertaining.

I have been watching Trevor Noah on The Daily Show for some time now and when I saw he had a book out, I had to have it. I checked it out from the library and I was not disappointed. Cover Design: Greg Mollica Publisher: Spiegil & Grau/Penguin Random House Amazon / Goodreads MY REVIEW ...

Wow! What a great read. I'm not a fan of non-fiction or memoirs but this was truly interesting, funny and weirdly relatable. Almost unbelievable to think that he lived this life but that's probably what makes it such a good book for a fiction reader like me. I found myself laughing at horrific scene...

What a disappointment. Mr. Noah is at times really tone deaf to the point where he is quite the asshole troll you find on social media. No reflections, no really growth as a person can be found in these memoirs; Noah is emotionally stunted 19 year old. I did find his writing on apartheid interest...

I am a big Trevor Noah fan, so reading this was a no-brainer. It was a very interesting and also touching insight into his childhood and youth in South Africa. I actually didn't really find it very funny. I admire him now even more, I love how positive he is. So, it was a good read, though not...

I enjoyed this memoir, which is exactly what it says on the tin, a collection of stories about the author’s childhood and youth in South Africa. It’s a quick read, flows well and is often funny. The writing is clear and has a distinctive voice. It’s aimed at American readers and so tends to explain ...

I borrowed the hardback from a friend. When I heard the audio (and I never listen to audios) was narrated by the author himself, I opted to listen to it instead. This made for nice entertainment to and from work for the last 2 weeks. Trevor Noah has improved from his first day, week, and year on The...
