Noah's relationship with his mother in particular was a source of a lot of laughter from me. I liked her unusual sense of humour. What she considered funny Noah often didn't, which made the anecdotes he told even more humourous.
I also learned so much about South Africa and Apartheid from him. What Noah witnessed and experienced growing up was so shocking and gut wrenching. I was repeatedly on the edge of my seat listening along, rooting for him, the perpetual underdog.
Noah is a well rounded story-teller with the ability to play many characters, which makes him the ideal narrator. I can't recommend this awesome audio enough.
There's just something about hearing the author narrate their own story, you know? I think this is the way I prefer to experience memoirs, listen to them, as opposed to read them.
I've been listening to some poignant, fascinating audiobooks lately. Dare I say, lately these audiobooks are better than some of the books I've been reading. 😮 I can't thank Bookstagrammers enough for introducing me to audio books!
Until next time,
Kara
