By: Trevor Noah   | Series: One World Essentials 
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid
 
“Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire
 
Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist


Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.

Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.

The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Needs to be Re-designed
I will update this rating depending on the outcome of my customer service/support experience. At this time, I cannot recommend this product. Although it’s marketed for ATV use, it does not withstand the realities that come with ATV riding. The snaps on the straps securing the front of the shade come undone with nearly every bump, making the shade unstable and frustrating to use. On our second trip out with it after about 3 hours of riding, the shade collapsed on me entirely. Initially, I thought the rear hooks had come loose, but to my surprise, the roof frame itself had snapped in half on both sides. I’m still unsure how this even happens. The metal completely snapped right where the roof poles bend in a U. Very odd. It forced us to remove the shade completely and carry it on the back of the quad for the rest of the ride since it was not functional anymore. Given this is only the second time we had even used it I would not recommend anyone purchase this product which is so unfortunate as living in AZ I had very high hopes for this product, as the concept is excellent, but it needs significant reinforcement to handle the rough terrain and constant movement involved in off-road riding and at this time I requesting a full refund and until this company revisits the design to make it sturdier and more reliable I will not consider purchasing again.

It’s much more rigid than you might think.
The brackets did not fit the range of diameters that it said it would. Is pretty doofus when you lay it down backwards. It is however, more rigid than you might think. It works for me. I like it. Of course I can change things. I like the exterior fabric and I like the vinyl undercoating. I suspect it’s going to be waterproof as well. Now that I know, I’m not going to lay it down. I’m going to order a second one for my wifes quad, which is even narrower than the minimum they call out. 39.4”.

Great customer service
Stong headwind caused front straps to pop off and broke/bent frame. They replaced frame tubes with no hassle! Very impressed!

As shown
Nice kit. Simple to assemble, simply packed, good weight for the metal and the shade cloth. Actual width between attachment points is 44 inches. Tubing goes together with those push button things like on aluminum table legs. Priced commensurate with quality.

Very ridged!
I put this on my can am outlander 850 and it was not a hard job to install it. Shade cloth is nice and so far holding up good to what I put it through. Tubing has the push buttons so putting it all together is pretty easy. I had to make some clips myself to get the install right but it was no big deal. 5 stars!!
