It's...really, really good. Anyone who grew up in the 90s will feel right at home with Trevor talking about modded Playstations, CD piracy, Leisuresuit Larry, Montel Jordan, and more. He tells some sad stories about life during apartheid as well to give the entire thing a very human feelings - the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the horrible!
My favourite story so far, and I doubt it'll change...
Trevor was the DJ for a hip-hop dance group. Their top dancer was named Hitler. This apparently is no big deal in South Africa, as Trevor says most just viewed him as another white strong man, and that it's not uncommon for parents to give their kids white historical figure names like Mussolini, Napoleon, etc.
Anyway, back to Hitler. When he would come out to dance, the entire troupe would make a semi-circle for him and pump their arms up and down, palm down, while chanting "Go Hitler! Go Hitler! Go Hitler!"
So Trevor's dance troupe started getting invited to different events. One day, they got invited to perform at a cultural show at a school called King David's. It was...a Jewish school. Clearly, the school knew nothing about the act, and Trevor's group lacked the historical knowledge to predict what was coming next.
The performance starts out hot, and they get ready to bring out Hitler for the grand finale. Hitler comes out, arms go up and start bouncing, and the dance group starts chanting "Go Hitler! Go Hitler! Go Hitler!" Everyone loses their minds, Trevor's mic gets taken away, and it all ends in a big argument and misunderstanding where the Jewish people are insulted and Trevor thinks they're attacking them because they're black and because Hitler was gyrating suggestively.
It's...an incredible story, especially the way Trevor sets it up and tells it. I was smiling, laughing, and wanted to cry all at the same time.
Listen to this book! It's sobering and pleasurable at the same time. :) Trevor reads the audio book himself. Really good stuff!
