A history on history, and more should seek to understand

Very well done. Not quite a sequel to "American nations," the use of biographical narratives to understand different perspectives in the history of the US was well done and approachable. If you've ever listened to another American talk about US history, especially on matters of race, and wondered why their narrative is so vastly different- this book seeks to explain why. I will be considering it's points for quite awhile yet.

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.

This story was extremely great and had its funny moments and it’s sad ones but NEVER have I had a story this good!!! The attitude and the tone in voice the reader used made me actually think I was right there in the story!!!
