I love Trevor Noah even more after reading this book. He uses his wittiness to recount the days of his childhood in South Africa, but he educates us all on what it was like to live under the horrors of apartheid. Just as it is important to read about the Holocaust, this book will enlighten readers about the oppression of the black and colored people of the pre Nelson Mandela era. As a middle school teacher, I would recommend this book to reader over the age of 14.
