It was a touching story of a terrible tragedy -- and I realize it was a young girl, but the flow just wasn't there. Still enough for me to sit and read the whole thing in a couple of hours and worth it.

This book made me so sick. I'm so horrified and upset. Reading about the controversy behind how the profits for this book were handled made me even more upset. I'll have to get back to this review at a later date.

shirleytupperfreeman's review against another edition
This one is also written for kids (older kids). It is the true story of a 10 year old girl who was married off by her desperate father. She is abused by her much older, horrible husband and gets the courage to run away, find a lawyer and file for divorce in a country where such things aren't done. It's inspiring - and the bad stuff is referred to fairly obliquely so a well-read child could handle it.

I think it is an interesting perspective to read about this events from an innocent child's point of view. There are no big revelations or discussions on societal and cultural customs and it is simply a matter of a child wanting to have a better life.

What a story, it is unbelievable that marriages to children still happens in today's world. How brave of Nujood to fight for her rights. Quick read, read it in a few hours.

A powerful story of a very brave girl. I was pleasantly surprised that the judges at the court acted so quickly, to be honest. I had half expected Nujood to meet more resistance from the legal system.

This might be my favorite book of the year so far. I am very ignorant of Yemeni--and much of the Eastern world's specific issues. I'm aware that child marriage is a common practice, but because I'm not exposed to the tradition where I live, the concept seems almost unreal to me. However, Nujood's story has enlightened me, and humanized the concept that this is a real occurrence amongst the world. I'm very glad to have read it.
