One of the most sinister things about apartheid was that it taught colored people that it was black people who were holding them back.

This is one of the greatest books I've ever read.

If you want to read a book that takes you from laughing to crying to discussing the roots of racism, this is the book to read. I quickly read through each page and was amazed by Noah's story telling, which was incredibly moving. I just love every aspect of this book, I really won't change a thing about it. Not only does the book discuss Trevor's funny childhood stories, but he is also vulnerable and discussed the sadder parts of his life, often as a result of systemic racism. Everyone should read this book.
