I was not really familiar with Trevor Noah when this book became available on NetGalley, but the title stood out. Later, when it was still on my to-read pile, I got a "you should read this" note from my sister-in-law through Goodreads. Since this was unusual, I moved it to the top of my list. I wa...

This book really stalked me. It's true; I'm not even a huge fan of the Daily Show. Look, it isn't Stewart or Noah, it's just not really my thing. I've even given up watching Samantha Bee after the election too - I just can't for some reason. But Noah in his interviews has always stuck me as someone ...

First off, I really enjoy Trevor Noah on The Daily Show and any guest interviews I've seen him do over time. I also enjoyed his stand-up special Afraid of the Dark and will be looking to find his other specials. I'd heard many good things about this memoir of his, so when it was on sale, I snapped...

This book is an absolute must read. It's entertaining to the max. He has had the most colorful existence, abundant ups and downs. It's full of unique views that I've never witnessed. I felt inspired and uplifted. Even though, he's been through tragedy and hardship, he never looses his easy goin...

I Picked Up This Book Because: As strange as it sounds I’m a little obsessed with Trevor Noah. I find his background fascinating. Learning the dynamics of South Africa from his perspective has become an addiction. The Story: I love Patricia Noah. Trevor’s mother was a source of endless laughs, les...

As a South African myself, this book hits very close to home. Although I grew up poor as well, I'm a white person, and I've always had that privilege. It was fascinating and horrifying listening to how it was on the other side of the tracks, so to speak. And through it all, Trevor's optimism and str...
