- 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.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey
- Publisher: Penguin Classics, 2006
- Genre: Classics
- Format: Mass-Market Paperback
- Page Count: 393 pages
- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I never thought I’d enjoy the book this much. Considering it was first published back in 1962 with its historical background, I think One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is thrilling and great in a rebellious way, even if the characters were a bit gender discriminating sometimes.
