"Born a Crime"

It was Joey’s turn to pick out a new book for Tall Boy Book Club to read, and he did not let us down with Trevor Noah's “Born A Crime.”

My wife had recommended this book to me. It frames up a whole other perspective than the guy that hosts The Daily Show. This book talks about Trevor's upbringing in South Africa dealing with poverty, crime, and relationships with his family and friends. He's a great storyteller and does a really good job of making you understand what it was like growing up in the apartheid. I enjoyed reading about the relationship with his mother and how he hustled to make a living. It's a great read and I highly recommend it.

Tip: Read the book and prepare to see him in Nashville!
