i think this novel was phenomenal! it informs you on this very important issue of girls education, terrorism, and the taliban, while also being very intriguing and fast paced. if informational novels usually bore you, this one definitely wont!
one of my favorite parts about this book is how it tells you all about malalas life during the talibans terrorist attacks, but while it talks about that devastating topic, it cast a light on the good parts of her life during these struggles, like playing games with her friends after school, or watching ugly betty. another example is when malala reflects on her thoughts about her brush with death; while it is a terrible thing to happen, she writes that shes grateful to be alive and that the situation put so many eyes on her to advocate for the rights of women!
i would highly recommend this to anyone!! the topics malala discuss are very salient and i think everyone should give this book a chance.

The book covers Malala's life story in great detail, from her childhood to the time when her family stayed in Birmingham. However, I did face some issues with the writing, particularly with the way the political and historical accounts were intertwined with its personal reflections. Nevertheless, it was still worth reading, and her story is truly enlightening and inspiring. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an eye-opening read.
