Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor NoahMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love Trevor Noah, but his story about him growing up at the end of the Apartheid in South Africa would be fascinating to anyone - whether you know who he is or not. There were some very funny parts, but overall I was surprised by how difficult his life was growing up. He approaches it with the same humor you see from him on The Daily Show, but there are some things you just can't make funny. I like him even more now that I know a lot of what he has been through. I also really appreciated his honesty about himself and his bad (and sometime illegal) choices he made as a kid and teenager. I'd love to read more about him and how he became the comedian he is today. I hope he writes a second memoir!
