Trevor Noah's 'Born a Crime' is Back at the Number One Spot

It seems people still can't get enough of Born a Crime, the incredibly humorous yet telling memoir of Trevor Noah's life. We can't blame them though! Noah took to Instagram recently to express his excitement and gratitude at his book having taken over the number one spot yet again in the category of paperback non-fiction.

Born a Crime is a compilation of sorts of the varying stories that marked Noah's childhood. Noah was conceived by a Swiss-German man and a South African Xhosa woman. Seeing that is was still during Apartheid times, and White and Black people were not allowed to 'fraternize' in any way, Noah was by all accounts an illegal child — a crime.

Noah's memoir received riveting reviews from the likes of actor and producer Tyler Perry to even billionaire businessman, Bill Gates.

In his review, Bill Gates says:

"Much of Noah's story of growing up in South Africa is tragic. His Swiss father moves away. His family is desperately poor. He's arrested. And in the most shocking moment, his mother is shot by his stepfather. Yet in Noah's hands, these moving stories are told in a way that will often leave you laughing. His skill for comedy is clearly inherited from his mother. Even after she's shot in the face, and miraculously survives, she tells her son from her hospital bed to look at the bright side. "'Now you're officially the best-looking person in the family,'" she jokes."
