Gosh, this was good. I've always enjoyed Trevor Noah, so I'm not surprised. This book taught me a lot of facets of apartheid that I had no idea about - it definitely makes me want to educate myself further. This was a good book for me to start with, though. Trevor uses comedy in a way that helps make it a lighter read, though obviously there are still some really horrendous things that he touches on. This is a great read for anybody who would like to learn about apartheid without totally bawling their eyes out.
