It took me FOREVER to finish this book. Felt like it was mandatory reading for class, which is too bad because, obviously, Malala's story is quite compelling. The second half is definitely more readable than the first, where she spends a lot of time to discussing Swat history and her father's life. I understand WHY this book was published quickly, but I think it could've waited until the author had more literary maturity.

I had pretty high hopes for this book, and it did not disappoint. My son and I read it together; he's nearly 13. We had a lot of conversations about what we read in this book... International politics, how lifestyles and belief systems vary from country to country, how similar we all are despite those cultural differences, the importance of equal rights and of education.
This book really blessed me. It was such an inspiration and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I loved this book. It was inspiring to read about someone standing up for women's rights for education like that. I can't imagine not being able to go to school. The fact that she continued to speak up, and so eloquently, shows true bravery and determination. Also, she was so young when she started. Truly inspiring. It is a hope of mine as well that children, girls in particular, around the world have access to education.
