 This biographical account of Trevor Noah's childhood was both lighthearted and amusing and informative and critical. Detailing his life growing up in South Africa with a single mother, this book is full of fun stories and fond memories but also deals with the racism and discrimination he faced and details how he and his mother had to break many laws that told them what they could and couldn't do in their attempts to live good lives. Born a racially mixed baby, his very existence was illegal. Keeping his identity secret was of the utmost importance to his family. He certainly made it difficult though, as he couldn't seem to stop causing trouble. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Trevor's personality really shines through and his trademark cynicism and sarcasm is hilariously present despite the eloquence of the writing. The last book on my BHM reading list for this year, I feel I really made a good choice. The writing wasn't overly formal, but it was informative about the politics of South Africa and the laws of segregation. A quick and fun but conversely heavy read.
