Highest-rated new book of 2016 by Audible customers Winner: Audible's Best of 2016 - Celebrity Memoirs  In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical. Noah’s virtuoso embodiment of all the characters from his childhood, and his ability to perform accents and dialects effortlessly in English, Xhosa, and Zulu, garnered the Audie Award for Best Male Narrator in 2018. Nevertheless, Noah’s devoted and uncompromising mother—as voiced by her son—steals the show.  An Audible for Dogs Pick: Make your dog's day. Cesar Millan shares how audiobooks can make dogs happier and calmer. Learn more. ©2016 Spiegel & Grau (P)2016 Audible, Inc.

How on earth did this drivel get published? And why didn't someone stop the author from doing his own narration. If anyone out there gets the hype on this book,?please explain. It is sophomoric, poorly constructed and not all that interesting. I had to stop.

This is a very cool stories book,but there really isn't much to be learned from in this book from a self improvement standpoint. Trevorjust tells clips of memories and flash backs of his child hood, with no real life lessons learned or anything like that. This book is great for mindless listening but that isabout it.

Thought I had a winner until he got into a 10-15 minute dissertation on "shitting". Downhill from there. After 12 chapters I couldn't take thefrequent "f" words any more. Author is articulate, highly intelligent and engaging otherwise. He's a rebel and one feels he takes no little amount of pride in that. Got the impression that he was attributing more of his sufferings to apartheid thanwas deserved evenfor such an inhuman practise. Sometimes people do the wrong thing just because they don't care and the fault lies with them and not with the policy ther're under.

it took me a while to go through this book. a lot of it is the early childhood of the author, around6 to 8 years old stories, hanging out with his mother and talking about the dog. the end is more interesting, it deals with his teenagerhood and how he was getting.

I really enjoyed this book at first but it turned out to be very racist against white people. Not all white people are the same just as not all blacks are the same but this book portrays the whole race and a bad and stupid people. I’m not even willing to finish listening anymore. I’ve heard all I need too.

The story was good. Trevor Noah’s performance was also good. But it could have been half of what it is right now, sometimes it felt super redundant and I got bored with some of the irrelevant details along the way. I have to mention that this was highly recommended by a bunch of friends of mine, so I listened to it with very high expectations, and I was a tiny bit disappointed.

The apartheid history was interesting. Some of the personal stories. But then I just got sick of them.
