What struck me most is how beautiful Malala's faith is during her fight for her life, and the right for education.

Sincere and gives me hope. She described herself fully, with her fight for education and also her petty squabbles with her younger brothers. I feel comforted knowing the younger generation has leaders including her and Greta Thunberg.

(Nejdřív musím přiznat, že jsem netušila, že jsem si zvolila verzi pro mladší čtenář - a určitě si časem přečtu i tu druhou.)
Ale ke knize - tu těžké hodnotit - jak už to u autobiografií bývá. Za mě největší problém spočívá v tom, že ji Malála napsala moc brzy a je to znát, hlavně u téhle "dětské" verze, která by za mě byla mnohonásobně lepší, kdyby víc popisovala, co se v Pákistánu dělo. Stejně jako pro Malálu byla Anglie jiná, zvláštní, tak takový je pro nás Evropany Pákistán.
Nedá se popřít, že Malála toho zažila a udělala hodně (a stále dělá) a je fajn si tuhle knížku přečíst nebo ji dát mladším dětem, protože téma vzdělání, jeho dostupnosti a jak si ho vážíme, stejně jako další věci, je důležité.
Doufám, že Malála jednou napíše novou autobiografii - až bude starší.

I will be the first to admit that my efforts at understanding of the war in Pakistan and the Taliban does not stretch into such depth further than the death of Bin Laden. It was not until I read this book that I truly discovered how deeply ingrained into Asia this war was. I had no idea who Malala was until I heard about her being shot an airlifted to Birmingham for treatment.

A few weeks ago I watched Emma Watson’s interview with Malala, at which point Emma said:

“The best part of the film for me was that you got to see what, obviously, made you so extraordinary, but more importantly ordinary, which shows that anyone can encourage change.”

I believe that the above quote, though relating to the film He Named Me Malala, encompasses the message of the book. Having not seen the film, I cannot discuss the similarities or differences between them.
