Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

This book is written by famous comedian, Trevor Noah, and yet, I have to admit, the book is quite inappropriate. It includes things I shouldn’t mention in this book review. But, if you look through the rude words on every even page, you get a wonderfully narrated storyline. Follow the nonfiction adventures of Noah, as he gets thrown out of cars, kidnapped abused, and almost shot at. Watch as he gains friends, gets a CD copier, and even gets sent to prison for driving an unlicensed car! The book is funny yet informative, letting you imagine what life in Trevor Noah’s world would feel like. It’s nice, how you can compare the thoughts from a south African childhood to your own. Ages 14 and up.
