1/3 of the book isn’t really about Malala. It is more about the history of Pakistan and about her father.
I understand that it was included for context and while it was interesting it was lengthy at times. Also the writing style is sometimes repetitive and hard to follow.
But it got really captivating as soon as the story started to really be about Malala.

- The tension that arose in society
- how school was like for her
- how she and her family had to flee the Swat Valley temporarily
- how it was to return to their home
- how she was shot
- how her recovery went in Birmingham
I couldn’t put the book down at this point. It might be slow at first but please don’t let that stop you from reading it. Really informative and inspiring!
