She’s an amazing brave young woman not just because she survived , and kept going but continues the fight for girls education and the fight against terrorism with not war but with education . Her name as the story of her namesake went suits her very well. I hope to accomplish half of what she has.

I didn't like that this book jumped around so much, I couldn't really keep track of what what happening in the world because of it.

It was a frightening and sobering look at what religious fundamentalism can lead to. It has a lot of cultural and historical background on Pakistan that gives context for what happened to her. Her voice shines through discussions of prime ministers, war, and natural disasters. It's a beautiful and important book, and it is so important in this global context of right wing fundamentalism.

It is so evident she loves her homelands. She also was such a feminist from a young age. 

It’s also so fascinating to read about her father’s quiet and strong resistance to Taliban rule for continuing to teach and run his school. Also fascinating to see the way children are so adaptive to the world around them, and so aware of their political environment at a young age.

Amazingly written. Would be lying if I said I didn't cry a few times.
