I remember hearing in the news about Malala. I read the articles about her and followed her recovery, and later her activism. While this book is about her, her family, and her life, it is also a history lesson about Pakistan. Overall, I liked the interweaving of history with family life. This is one...
I was fascinated, horrified, and inspired by this story of Malala Yousafzai, the girl who was shot in the face by the Taliban for daring to insist upon the rights of girls to an education and to criticize the Taliban for their interpretation of Islamic law with respect to women and violence. It is a...
Powerful. That's how I would describe this book. The story gave us an insight of life in Swat Valley before it was taken over by the Taliban, and how extremist views can gain massive followers in such short time and affected people's lives with fear. Malala is a hero - a symbol of bravery and ...
Malala Yousafzai is an amazing young woman. She is strong, feminine, vulnerable, brave, and afraid all at the same time. I can't imagine going through the things she went through, even before she was shot. The running, and being driven from her home, and the death threats. I didn't know all that muc...

* To be clear: my 2 star rating is not for Malala's story, but for this book.I struggled to get through this book. The first part the book went from Pakistan history, to Malala in school, to Pakistan politics, to memories from Malala's past. It was all over the place and not comprohensive at all, wh...
The last two parts and the epilogue of this book focused on the shooting and recovery of Malala. The first three parts to the book is filled with Pakistani history (in a close chronological order), politics, and culture among the different peoples that make up the country. I got a damn good educat...
There is no question that both before and after she was shot, Malala Yousafzai was a courageous young girl who stood up for what she believed, allowed to do this by her supportive family. This book centres on Malala's life with her family and in her quest not only to become educated herself, but tha...
The book provides a window into part of the world that many Americans know little about. I was intrigued by the novel because it showed the complexities that we face when trying to implement policy in the region. In my mind, it certainly brings into question the United State government's penchant fo...
I didn’t think that there would be that much of interest in a book about someone so young, written by someone so young, yet I was blown away by her ability to put her life and experiences into words. Malala, a devout Muslim who loves her religion, has written not only an autobiography of her life, b...
