The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do
This has been a very popular book in Australia and I’ve been on the waiting list at the library for months. Naturally then reading the actual book was a bit of a let down. Partly because I’ve see a couple of interviews with the author and heard the best punch lines and partly just because my expectations were so high. Don’t get me wrong – its the fascinating story of a boy who arrives in Australia as a refugee on a boat and goes on to become one of the best known comedians in the country. Some of the stories made me laugh out loud and some were incredibly sad. Definitely worth of reading.
