What a courageous girl. I learned so much about the Taliban and terrorism and heroism. A must read for those who are open minded about education and personal rights.

My one-star review is not a reflection of my feelings about Malala but for the book itself. This didn't read like a memoir. There was way too much history. I was bored.

Malala is brilliant and brave, a teenaged revolutionary with a simple platform: girls have the right to be educated, to make choices for themselves, to speak out against injustice. The world she describes, modern day Pakistan, is a beautiful and terrible place, and the Taliban use their religious views as a license to do the most terrible things imaginable. Yet Malala refused to remain silent and paid the price. An amazing story.

Fantastic memoir but I’m late to the party and now I want an update. Education rights for all. ✨

what an amazing story. This is a story from a brave girl who stands up for girl's education. She even won Nobel prize and she is very humble. She is set to be a great woman leader.
I feel ashamed on how a girl such Malala already achieved so much compare to me who had high education and achieve so little.
Inspiring read.

Malala is wise beyond her years. It's too bad her own country doesn't see it that way.

Incredible. Also I'm reminded of how little I have done up until now, and how privileged I am to have had an education free of bombings. Many know her name, few know her story, but one thing I LOVED about this book is her relationship with her Dad, who is the one who inspired, supported, and stood by her side as she continued to fight for what he knew was important, and what values he passed on to his daughter. She's a daddy's girl, and her dad has an incredible story as well. Trying to maintain the only school in a war zone deserves its proper accolades as well, and that is what he was focused on doing. Giving children an education. Defending women and men against such evil forces. And loving his daughter so incredibly much. Makes me cry to think about it. Highly recommend. It also touches on history of Pakistan for the uninformed reader (me!)
