    Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

    18th May 2018
    Cover of Born a Crime (Trevor Noah)

    Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

    • Publisher: Spiegel & Grau, 2016
    • Genre: Biography
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 304 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

    You separate people into groups and make them hate one another so you can run them all.

    This book is an enthralling, completely action-packed autobiography that took place in the transition from apartheid to post-apartheid eras of South Africa. It was easy to read, and should be read by everyone. By easy, I meant the language, not the content. Some of the stories were pretty disturbing.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
