HUUUUUUUUUUUGE trigger warnings. Some of the worst animal cruelty I've ever come across and it's handle with very little grace or consideration for life.

At times unforgivingly brutal and at other times laugh-out-loud funny, I can honestly say this book was a journey. I have a very hard time handling animal cruelty so there were moments when I almost couldn't finish reading but the story kept me going. I had to remember that it's a different culture, and a different way of looking at life. It was an interesting glimpse into life in Africa. Trevor Noah is a great story teller and I'm really glad I listened to the audiobook because it made the experience that much more amazing.
