You will have to listen for yourself, but you won’t be able to stop smiling at some of the lessons she taught a young Trevor.

To me, Noah was not the star of his story: it was his mother, Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah.She is strong, confident, hardworking: a fighter. Using humor Noah tells of tales that discuss how race, language, socioeconomic status, and politics have affected his upbringing. I learned about history: what it was like for Noah to grow up during, and after, apartheid in South Africa as the son of a white father and black mother. 'The doctors took her up to the delivery room, cut open her belly, and reached in and pulled out a half-white, half-black child who violated any number of laws, statutes, and regulations-I was born a crime.' Born a Crime Unit Outline. It’s not about Noah’s rise to fame or how he navigates his celebrity status. I have listened to two other celebrity memoirs narrated by the author, but neither compare to Born a Crime. Trevor Noah knows how he wants his story to come across, and delivers his message with a tone and authenticity that makes it hard to push pause…plus, hello that accent – swoon!

To me, this book is better as an audiobook since the author is the one reading his story. But, for an audiobook to keep my attention the narrator has to be on point. I prefer reading books versus listening, but do enjoy an audiobook while driving or doing chores.
