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.

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.

Quick and funny motivational read, but a little too "out there" for my tastes. The author's advice always boils down to "trust in God/the universe" and "visualize the life you want and you'll have it."
