I think if I heard the book on audio since I heard about how great Trevor Noah read the book and in the languages from South Africa. So I had to save room for when I listen to the book. Here's why everyone should read the book: it's real life. He doesn't sugar coat the whole idea of the cruelties and unfairness of apartheid. His mom could have been thrown in prison just for giving birth to Noah. Noah never belonged to any group because he wasn't one specific ethnicity. And while I think it's better here in America in today, I know that there are still many feelings of not fitting in for lots of children of parents of different ethnicities.
Real life also came in the form of domestic violence. But beyond the very act of violence was the response of people just rolling their eyes in the manner of "boys will be boys."
But rather than letting all these hardships push him down, Trevor found humor, and made the situations seem like little spoiled children. I mean that in the way of they are annoying, they are very real, and they have the ability to be life altering, but if you let them rule you and your attitude, then you will definitely never get out of the situation if possible. I'm not saying that everyone had/has the same experience and can have the same attitude, but it was definitely something that I felt I could read about, get mad about, but also see that good can still dominate over these injustices.
