The book covers Malala's life story in great detail, from her childhood to the time when her family stayed in Birmingham. However, I did face some issues with the writing, particularly with the way the political and historical accounts were intertwined with its personal reflections. Nevertheless, it was still worth reading, and her story is truly enlightening and inspiring. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an eye-opening read.

Key takeaway quote "Sometimes I think it is easier to be a Twilight vampire than a girl in Swat" really dates her experiences as a teen girl in the early 2010s.
