Hace uno o dos años vi la película de Malala y confieso que ya sabía mucho sobre ella, así que no encontré muchas cosas nuevas sobre ella en este libro, pero hace mucho que quería leer Yo Soy Malala y lo tenía súper pendiente. Así que acá estamos. Y debo decir que realmente amé la lectura.
“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.”
¿Cómo describiría esta lectura en una sola palabra? INSPIRADORA. Leer esto me hizo darme cuenta de muchas cosas y de lo que conforma mi realidad (como la libertad de expresión, la libertad de religión, el derecho a la educación sin importar el género, por ejemplo) que no son aspectos que conformen la realidad de todos en el día de hoy aunque no sea algo que yo vea todos los días. Y necesitamos LEER libros como este. Necesitamos nutrirnos de historias que toman lugar en el mundo en el que vivimos, compartamos o no la religión, nacionalidad o cultura que los demás. Leeré esto de nuevo y de nuevo porque estoy convencida de que hace falta. Y si, se los recomiendo muchísimo.

Great story. Very inspiring and one that will make you realize that most of the stuff we complain about is trivial. I listened to this on audiobook, and it was an easy listen. Imagine it would be an easy read as well.

Meh. A book written without emotion, without literary talent, more from hearsay and history than anything else. A lot of shit about a cancerous religion and a lot of info dumping that does nothing for readers. A Nobel peace prize won mostly as propaganda and drama. A horrendous event that honestly pales in comparison to what happened to the rest of Pakistan, to so many hundreds of thousands of people, to so many millions of girls around the world. But I will not go into a lot of detail because the discussion is too large and complex for snowflakey, young adulty goodreads. In short, e mediocre read about a person who comes off as utterly unlikable. Her father though... Give that man a Nobel Peace Prize and let him write a book because that would definitely have much more added value.

Such an inspiration. The novel and the topic were written beautifully and moved me to tears. Truly one of the first autobiography I have ever connected with.

I loved this book! Malala has a powerful voice. She is funny, sweet, and headstrong. I love that she is not afraid to point out injustice. She makes me laugh even when my heart breaks for her and her people. Everyone should read this. <3

A heroic book about a little girl fighting for her right in education!
There is a summary about it in my blog - https://www.tamarayousefmousa.com/

Really enjoyed this book. Had an amazing amount of information on the Middle East and what young women and girls have to go through in order to be educated. Malala and her story are uplifting and one of perseverance for the sake of education. Her family, of which she writes about extensively, is a beautiful example of the types of families people of western civilizations have no clue about. Despite being shot in the face the only thing Malala strives for is furthering her education and making sure girls like her can do the same.

This book was excellent. I loved Malala's voice, and her perspective is eye-opening. I need to read more stories by non-American authors. What I love most was that she was a girl who just happened to be growing up in the middle of a huge conflict, watching places she loved get destroyed and people she knew die, but who also loved Twilight, struggled with physics, and argued with her friends. These are the
