I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

This book is inspiring through and through. We get to meet Malala, the person, the young girl who loved going to school and learning. She gives details about her world and life while providing context about the happenings in her hometown, region, and country. I was constantly impressed by Malala's capacity for empathy and ability to reflect deeply. She showcases herself honestly in this memoir and I am grateful to have had the chance to read her book, because she was able to write a book in the first place. Her cause is dear to my heart, and I wish only success for her. I couldn't help but think of her as a little sister after reading her book. It is a pleasure to get to know her before she became renowned for surviving a shot to the head. While I thought some of the book was slow, I would recommend it wholeheartedly, especially as a casual/leisurely read.
