Critics Review
PRAISE FOR BORN A CRIME - *
An engaging, fast-paced and vivid read … Essential reading not only because it is a personal story of survival, leavened with insight and wit, but because it does more to expose apartheid - its legacy, its pettiness, its small-minded stupidity and its damage - than any other recent history book or academic text - GUARDIANIt’s no surprise that Trevor Noah, the slyly suave successor to Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show, should write a smart book. But ‘smart’ doesn’t begin to cover what he pulls off in Born a Crime … Noah’s memoir is extraordinary … essential reading on every level. It’s hard to imagine anyone else doing a finer job of it - SEATTLE TIMESPowerful … a unique perspective - THE TIMESAbout The Author
