It is always weird rating memoirs, but i will qualify that i read this book aloud to my kid so im reviewing from that perspective. 

The way Malala illustrates her life, upbringing, and personal worldview makes it easy to understand her. 

Even my young daughter got a lot out of what she had to say and i was surprised by how much i was touched by the descriptions of fear. School shootings here in america came to mind often

This was never an easy book to pick up, and I struggled with some of the history, but it is an engaging and compelling story.

I mean, what can you say. What an incredible woman. And a really beautifully, artfully written book. The politics leading up to her attempted assassination are laid out clearly, and are infused with her warmth and passion and humour.

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.

5 stars for content; 2.5 stars for writing style. If you're interested in girls' rights and education, you should read it.
