Not gonna lie I've never watched any of Trevor Noah's works, comedies or shows. It's recommended to me by a friend, and the minute I picked it up I couldn't put it down.
Reasons of Recommendation:
1) Trevor really knows how to tell a story. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes suspenseful.
2) He manages to integrate reflection of racism and apathaid into his personal stories. It's not just about him, it's about the people being colonized. And some of his reflections are quite deep. Like he talked about how the places' names changed after the colonizers came, how native lanagaugaes are no longer taught in schools and are replaced by English, how the colonized struggle to break the cycle of low-end jobs without education yet failed to do so, how that would lead to increasing crimes.
I gotta say, I used to love Out of Africa, now I have to view it from a different angel.

Truly a great audiobook too.
I really enjoyed this one as well.
His comedy specials are equally thoughtful. While also being very funny. I highly recommend them.
