How do you like it?

It's really good. I like Trevor Noah a lot and he writes this just like he would tell the story out load so it's a very 'natural' read. It's enlightening and disturbing. So many Americans think of Apartheid and think it has nothing to do with us - but the parallels to our own history are pretty disturbing. This kind of think could happen here easily enough. Yet, he's able to tell the stories with humor and 'hope' I suppose you would say. Worth the time.
