Book Review:
Born a Crime is a remarkable book that offers a powerful perspective on race and identity in modern society. Trevor Noah’s writing is deeply personal, and his story. resonates with readers from all backgrounds. What makes the book so amazing is the way in which Noah weaves together his personal experiences with broader issues in society, such as racism, poverty, and inequality.
Noah uses humor to address some of the more serious themes of the book. Despite the difficulties he went through growing up, Noah’s sense of humor is what made the novel more exciting to read whilst still addressing the tough times he faced. At the same time, however, Noah is not afraid to confront the harsh realities of his life, and the way he was willing to be vulnerable and honest about his experiences growing up is what makes the book so compelling.
Noah also writes about his mother. Throughout the book, she is a central figure in his life, and it is clear that her strength, and determination had a great impact on Noah’s upbringing. She played a crucial role in the book and was my favorite character she was such moving character not only to Trevor but to me aswell
Overall, Born a Crime is an amazing novel that offers a unique perspective on race, identity, and the human experience.
