One of the best memoirs I've ever read. Noah's story is engaging, introspective, hilarious, and filled with love, curiosity, and an innate understanding of people. In addition, this book provides a much needed education and first-person narrative on South African history and culture.
Exquisitely written. However, very heavy and difficult to get through. I slogged through the last 200 pages simply because I had come so far, but felt no joy in it. The ending filled me with rage, and made the entire book seem unnecessary.
