A review by brianahartzell
I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali

I have decided I cannot give this book a rating. Since this is a story of triumph against extremely scarey and abusive situation, saying I "Liked" this book feels wrong. What I can say, is that this book is inspirational, and my hope is that Nujood's bravery will help other children in her situation find help.

I liked the youthful narration (that is was not edited to be more "proper"), the reader can tell a young girl wrote this book. I appreciate the details a young mind provides (for example being excited about a wedding for the coconut candy). I read this book straight through and could not put it down. I am so glad she was granted a divorce but disappointed that in the end the terrible man who abused her faced no punishment or penalty. Makes one very thankful to be born in the USA.
