The narrator has very good accents, but mispronounced many words. After listening, I am fairly certain that Taylor swift did not write this book. I think the movie will be better than the book.

The basic story is good. I liked how it ended.
There is a lot of filler and repetition mixed with the story.
It's a tedious listen, I gave up on it, then gave it another chance.

Where does Born a Crime rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was my favorite audiobook from 2016.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Born a Crime?

I can't write the most memorable part because it would ruin the story.

What does Trevor Noah bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This book is especially good as an audio book because you can hear the different South African languages and the different accents and speaking patterns of each character.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The relationship between Trevor and his mother is beautiful. The book is a love story of their relationship. I could write more, but it's better to just listen to it all.

Any additional comments?

I read a lot and listen to audiobooks a lot. So my friends and family ask me for recommendations once in awhile. I've been recommending this audiobook to all of them without them asking. I took a screen shot of the cover and sent it to all of them with a text saying you have to listen to this.

I was recommending this book to some co-workers and started to tear up just talking about it. They both said they would read it, so I was trying to convince them to listen to the audio. I was playing the audiobook for a few minutes and that got me listening to it for a second time. I'm still loving it.

Thank you Trevor Noah for sharing your stories with us.

It seems like the "who" of who did it is an educated guess, which made sense but I wanted to know for sure. Well read.

Most of the content could've been excluded. I started listening at 1.25 speed then went to 1.5 speed. That helped. The author over explains and has too much of Emma's thoughts which are repetitive. For the entire series I liked the story but it gets lost in fluff and there's hours between interesting events.

The narration of this book is off character from the previous books, which I loved. Gabra Zackman was excellent as Sophie Katz in the first three books but lost the spunk on this one.
The story was still good, the reading should have a retake, as a couple voices and tone are off.
