Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

this was not what i expected at all, i thought it was going to be lots of funny stories honestly. and yes you can tell how funny he is, and some stories ARE really funny, but it's mostly just an incredible unfolding of a life story. it's hard to rate a memoir anyway, but this was incredible. i listened to it also on audiobook, narrated by trevor, and i think that made it even better. i was thinking i'd rate this 4 stars until i got to the very end, which was just so powerful and intense. this guy is only 5 years older than me like wtf lmao
