Noah's account of his life has received praise on Twitter from readers and listeners alike.
In the book, Noah discusses his childhood in apartheid South Africa — born to a black mother and a white father, a crime punishable with imprisonment under the Immorality Act of the time. According The A.V. Club, Born A Crime "mixes his fascinating history with his signature humor".
