Review of 'Born a Crime' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I did not expect this book to be as good as it is, and it probably works better as an audio because Noah is an excelent narrator and he is able to correctly pronounce the sentences in different languages, and even sing. You can even listen to his voice breaking up when he is reliving some bad moments. I thought the book would be more focused on how he became a celebrity, but instead it taught me a lot about the Apartheid in South Africa. He writes about his childhood in a way that gives you a pause, I often stopped to compare my life to his as we are almost the same age and yet we are universes apart. What an insightful book, if you have the time please read it.
