Story
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.

I loved the book! A 5-stsr reviews are true! Somehow, I've got fascinated about a culture that I was never before interested in. So much wisdom, and love, and humour! And performance! Wow! Sadly, it's not translated into Russian. I'd love my mom to read it.

After listening to Inferno, Origin and DaVinci Code, this book seems weak. I could guess the next plot twist in advance in about half of the times. Often it felt that I've already heard this somewhere. Looks like ideas and descriptions were re-used. Still, entertaining read. But I expected more from Dan Brown.

Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves....

Origin thrusts Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon into the dangerous intersection of humankind's two most enduring questions - and the earthshaking discovery that will answer them.

I like the metaphor. It helps to see yourself from a different angle. The book is a bit repetitive, but quite entertaining. If I had to go through a major change, I'd re-read it.

In each episode author and columnist Stephen Marche goes on a journey to answer a question that everyone in a marriage or long term relationship faces at some point. They’re the very real problems he faces himself.

UPDATED: Listened to the whole series! This is the best book on marriage I've ever read or listened to! Concise! To the point! Lively! It feels as if these were all my own experiences or experiences of close friends of mine! A must-read!
Just finished the 4th episode. Can't wait to go on! Just stopped for a sec to write this review. Everyone should listen to this! and much earlier! Not like me who was in a marriage for 20 years, fighting during a good 10 years of it. Losing sight of what is intimacy and closeness and thinking that it will never come back!
This series is fantastic! Excellent combination of real stories, doctors' advice, and good humor! I can definitely relate, at least to episodes 3 and 4. Let's see what comes next!

My daughter made me watch all 7 (or 8?) movies, which I found very entertaining. she didn't stop though, and insisted that I try reading (or listening) for at least one book. I gave in... and I am happy I did! Looks like i will be listening to all of them now. just hope to get the same narrator. Jim Tale is so talented!

I get in love the language of Kurt Vonnegut: seemingly simple yet incredibly sophisticated. when the book finished, I realized that I needed to listen again in order to get the meaning of all the subtle shades of what he had to say. and I did. and I am glad I did. Oh, and narrator is amazing!
