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.

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?

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.
