The review was done by Bill for Time.com and in it he writes how the book, which reflects on Trevor's life, does a great job of cementing Trevor's name as comedian.

"Much of Noah’s story of growing up in South Africa is tragic. Yet in Noah's hands, these moving stories are told in a way that will often leave you laughing. His skill for comedy is clearly inherited from his mother," writes Bill Gates.
