Two Formats, One Memoir, and a Clear Winner

I read the print version of Born a Crime first because I had the book already. Then I listened to the audio version because someone whose opinion I trust told me I had experienced it wrong. They were right. Trevor Noah narrates the audio himself and the experience of hearing him perform his mother's voice, and the voices of the township characters, and his own younger self, is so different from reading those scenes that the two formats are almost different books.
