While people may have different personal opinions about Yousafzai, one thing is clear — her courage and her determination for her purpose is worthy of being inspired of. In spite of all that was done to her and said to her, Malala used her voice for the cause of peace and education.
The book takee us all the way back to 1969, when Ziauddin Yousfazai, Malala's father, school owner, educational activist and her greatest mentor, was born in Shangla. Chronicling her father's early days followed by her (then seventeen-year) life, the book takes you to the beautiful lands of Swat, once known for their magnificence and which were turned into terrible places to be by the miltiant violence in the area.
The book uses simple language to tackle difficult subjects, doing so with maddening elegance and a sense of honesty. The book needs some work on pacing, but when was real life paced perfectly?

Malala is a beautiful soul and truly someone to admire. Barely 10 years old and aspiring to change the world around her… hope she lives a peaceful life surrounded those who love her.
