Malala is truly a force of nature and her drive and her spirit come through in her writing. Reading her book, realized how little we know about the real Pakistan from what we hear in the news here in the US. Some of the things she mentioned about the War on Terror were eye-opening. The order of the chapters and timeline were a bit odd, but if you're looking for an inspiring read, this is it.

Beautiful story of a beautiful girl with a sharp and full mind. I give it a four star rating because the writing was a little inexperienced and made you feel less like you were involved and more like you were reading it on the New York Times website.

Great book. She has a lot to say, and it is worth reading. Hearing the perspective of someone embedded in the events that have so shaped our lives and political consciousness over the past couple decades is really interesting. Especially interesting after listening to Serial Season 2 - feels like a nice complement to what I learned about Pakistan in that series. Quick read.

This book is a reminder for all of us about importance of education (literacy), courage, staying upon true values and love. Love and education are the most powerful weapons and this book is about it.

“Why not me?’ I wanted people to know what was happening. Education is our right, I said. Just as it is our right to sing. Islam has given us this right and says that every girl and boy should go to school. The Quran says we should seek knowledge, study hard and learn the mysteries of our world.”
