My husband is an avid fan of “The Daily Show” and after his recommendation, I thought I would try reading Trevor Noah’s memoir. We don’t always like the same books, but this did not disappoint. Many people think of comedians as being happy go lucky people who eventually rise to stardom when they make it on late night television. Trevor’s path to success was far from easy. Growing up in post-apartheid South Africa, he not only experienced racism and poverty, but would eventually go on to become involved in black market crime and see the reality of life in jail. With the love of his mother, he recounts the pitfalls of growing up and his search to find his true sense of self.
