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.

Un gran libro de un cómico aún mejor

Revisado en España el 29 de julio de 2022

Compra verificada

Trevor Noah ha sido uno de mis presentadores favoritos de Late Night Show en Estados Unidos y uno de mis cómicos favoritos. Tiene una gran capacidad de escritura como comediante, pero este libro fue realmente una sorpresa. El libro está muy bien escrito y ha puesto todo su corazón y sentimientos en el libro. Explica todo el camino que tuvo que recorrer como persona mestiza en Sudáfrica hasta convertirse en uno de los cómicos de más éxito del mundo. Su estilo de escritura te permite conectar con él, empatizar con él y experimentar su viaje. El libro es ligero a veces y divertido, pero muy sombrío y oscuro en otras ocasiones. Es un libro con una profundidad real y las luchas de Trevor y de muchas otras personas que viven en Sudáfrica durante y después del apartheid. Todo lo que digo es que le den una oportunidad a este libro y no se arrepentirán.

I've been watching The Daily Show only since Trevor Noah started hosting it. I knew nothing about him. It was a matter of luck. I was high on shows like Last Week Tonight. I was (I AM) afraid of Donald Trump. I am from Spain and I need to improve my English. So I started watching him. He was different. It was clear to me that he was a highly educated person, but at the same time he was SO different. He speaks languages, he has been all around the World. Not your typical American. The thing is... I was he is from South Africa, but never once I thought about Apartheid. To me, South Africa is fine. I knew the facts, but I didn't think on the impact on people. I was as ignorant about South Africa as he was about Hitler (pun intended, you need to read the book). This book has opened my mind. About him, about his country, about many things. And that's what a good book is supposed to do. It is a fishing rod. Thanks.

I 've followed TrevorNoah on you tube,found him just by chance,enjoyed his wits,his humor,his very talented ways to tell stories,and when I learned about his book,I just had to read it,and am so surprised that after what he went through during his youth,his life as a 'colored person' as he says himself,that he has such a wonderful outlook towards life,especially his own ,just a pity that the book ended too short,would have liked to know how he came to be where he is now,maybe a follow up book??

Apasionante a ratos

Revisado en España el 13 de enero de 2018

Compra verificada

Me ha apasionado a ratos, como una novela aunque en principio es una biografía. La madre no puede ser más interesante, triste la impunidad con que es maltratada y casi asesinada. Muy muy bueno su inglés "slangy" y el south african English. La vida en Sudafrica tras el apartheid. Necklacing. Soweto y demás townships, sorprende un relato tan vivo de ese mundo que todos conocemos de la tele.
Me disgusta lo que a ratos me entristecía y tb se me hizo un poco largo.
Lo recomiendo a cualquiera con curiosidad sobre la cultura mundial y en particular África, racismo, etc...

Me engancha este libro. Muchas veces me he sorprendido a mí mismo sonriendo o riendo mientras lo leía. Deberían hacer una película sobre su vida, tendría mucho éxito. Una historia simple, con toques de historia reciente de Sudáfrica, inocente, a veces triste, pero alegre a la vez.

It deserves a 5 star!

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 13 de octubre de 2018

I didn't look at the reviews until after I bought Born a Crime and read it for myself. While reading the 1 star reviews, out of curiosity, I was shocked at some of the negative reviews. Life in third world countries is different than what you would experience in America or other developed countries. Culturally they have beliefs, behaviors, and/or customs that may be considered weird or ugly to those who are not familiar. In my opinion, I believe Trevor Noah wrote wonderfully. He was completely transparent with his feelings, thoughts and experiences as a child growing up in an abusive third world country under apartheid and the aftermath. One reviewer spoke of a horrific animal situation (it was terrible and I do not support animal cruelty of any sort) but you have to remove yourself from it. If you are mad because he didn't respond the way YOU wanted, obviously there is a lack of understanding of his situation in life (I am not in anyway saying it was ok but it is a product of his environment). He was writing about his thoughts (he had at that moment), as a child growing up in a culture/society with ugly thoughts about that particular animal (I'm attempting to not give away any part of the plot while writing this). He was a product of his in environment and if he was taught something else maybe he would of had a different reaction at that time. I thought about giving the book a 5 star but I noticed all the existing reviews so I decided to reach those who would read the negative reviews, like myself, before purchasing a book. I thoroughly enjoyed Born a Crime. There were times I laughed. Times where I was utterly shocked. And a time when I got a bit emotional. Trevor Noah did a great job explaining the horrors of domestic violence and the lack of protection for women and children that still exists all over the world today. The nonexistent opportunities for children of poverty in third world countries especially regarding education. Being in an interracial marriage in America, I CANNOT fully understand what it must of been like for Trevor Noah's parents or as a mixed child growing up in such a hateful yet separated society. This is just my opinion. Take it for what it is.

Confusing and contradictory

Revisado en Reino Unido el 19 de enero de 2021

Compra verificada

I've thought highly of Trevor Noah whenever I've seen him on the TV, so I thought this would be an interesting and informative read. From the start though, it was a bit confusing, with the timeline jumping back and forward. This could be forgiven if the narrative was consistent, but it's very contradictory in so many ways.

We're told that Trevor being mixed race, a crime during apartheid, meant that he had to be hidden away and that his grandmother wouldn't let him leave the house or even play in the yard - but then we're also told that he was so well known in the neighbourhood that people would point him and his mother out, and also that they went to three different churches (black, white and coloured) several times a week. He also talks about how his mother paid no mind to the rules and that she and Trevor went everywhere and experienced lots of different things - so which is it? Was he hidden away for fear that the authorities would take him away, or was living a full and varied life with a mum determined to give him many experiences? Since he makes both these claims, how are we to know?

Similarly, we're told that he and his mother were so poor that they often resorted to eating broth from bones the butcher sold for dog food, but then he talks about the weekly car trips he and his mother took, and how his mother would buy a ton of fireworks every single year for Guy Fawkes. Another example is how he talks about being very aware of the constant threat of danger and violence, but then talks about how his scholarship to a private school from the age of three meant it was years before he was aware of the reality of apartheid. It all quickly smacks of a narrator who is wildly exaggerating the story at one end or the other and who can't keep track of what they've said, which then stops the reader feeling at all invested. Everyone knows that autobiographies aren't 100% accurate, but so many contradictions just gets annoying, fast.

I'll often plough to the end of a book even if it's annoying me, but I checked out at the point where Trevor talks about how in their culture, black cats were perceived as witches, and how his mother got two black kittens anyway. When they returned home one day to find them dead, horribly mutilated and hanging from their gate, Trevor's reaction was simply to think that cats are dicks anyway, and the cats deserved it for not showing him affection. This seemed to be not only the reaction he had at the time, but the way he still feels about it in retrospect, so I had no interest in reading any further. Glad I only spent 99p on the kindle version, but it wasn't even worth that.

It's what makes him such a great host of 'The Daily Show'

Revisado en Reino Unido el 4 de junio de 2017

Trevor Noah has always been unapologetically open and honest about the world. It's what makes him such a great host of 'The Daily Show'. He gets the right balance of humour to go with his casual storytelling style.

Reading 'Born A Crime' was such an eye-opening insight into what was actually going on during and after Apartheid. Firstly, Noah is only 33. Apartheid ended in living memory. It's a terrifying thought, how recent that is. Which leads onto my next point: we weren't taught about this nearly enough.

It's always different hearing about these sorts of experiences from someone who lived through it. Particularly because Noah is biracial. He didn't look black enough to be black, despite growing up around black people and never seeing himself as anything else. But he also wasn't white enough to be white. His family weren't particularly well-off. He didn't have the latest brands. He fit in enough that he was still an outsider, always flitting from group to group.

His mother, thought, is a force to be reckoned with. She's incredibly strong and independent. As a single mother with a biracial child she had to be. She actively sought out ways to undermine the white authorities. It was Noah and his mother against the world. A team. It was wonderful to read about such a strong family bond. Despite everything going crazy around them they had each other.

This isn't just the story of a young man's rise to fame, but a story of family, support, and unconditional love.

I've always enjoyed Trevor Noah as a comedian so wanted to read about his life. Having seen him in a few interviews I had a vague idea of what to expect; his life story and book exceeded my expectations.

I found his journey and that of his family (especially his mother) fascinating. Not only do we get to read his bio, but we also get an insight into what it was like being a child growing up during apartheid in South Africa.

His writing style and his personality reflect how he is on tv, he is intelligent, funny, charming and honest.

Without spoiling anything - be prepared for a roller coaster ride.

Was very disappointed when I got to the end of the book. I may have to read it again!

I thoroughly recommend it.

The best memoir I have ever read.

Revisado en Reino Unido el 12 de agosto de 2018

Unbelievably moving. Will have you laughing and then tearing up a few sentences later.

This excerpt... literally, mind blown:

“Yes, it was horrific. But I often wonder, with African atrocities like in the Congo, how horrific were they? The thing Africans don’t have that Jewish people do have is documentation. The Nazis kept meticulous records, took pictures, made films. And that’s really what it comes down to. Holocaust victims count because Hitler counted them. Six million people killed. We can all look at that number and rightly be horrified. But when you read through the history of atrocities against Africans, there are no numbers, only guesses. It’s harder to be horrified by a guess.”
