I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

4.5

I can split this book into two parts: the first part deals with Pakistan's history and politics, the second with Malala as a girl.
I found the first part interesting but slow and sometimes boring. On the other hand, the last 30-40% of the book touched me deeply, and I read the last few chapters at a much faster pace.
Definitely a must-read book for the role model Malala is for lots of people all around the world.

<strong>old enough</strong>

I always think it’s a little funny when memoirs are written by young people - what and how much could they have lived to write about something worthwhile reading? She was certainly old enough after all she has endured and done for girls and peace worldwide. Looking eagerly forward to see what becomes of her as an adult. Perhaps she’ll write a second or even third memoir worth reading again someday.

This book took me a few months to finish just because it was so sad and therefore hard for me to read. It’s obviously nonfiction so everything in this book was the truth. It was also very slow paced. But the story was very inspiring, and it was so interesting to see how different the culture is in Pakistan to the culture where I have grown up. So in summary, story was enlightening, writing was good.
