I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
4.0
This is such an amazing book, and I am very glad I read it.
I am so glad I picked up this book, she is so unbelievably inspirational, her and her whole family. The way she wrote was amazing, and there wasn't a dull moment. No moments where I was thinking "When will this part end? When do I get to something more interesting?" She captures the reader perfectly, shining light on her life, and her cause and her passion. You will leave this book understanding her better, her life story better, and her passion better.
Malala
I have already said a bit about her, but that barely is the tip of the iceberg. What an incredibly brave young women who is incredibly strong morally and I can only aspire to be half the person she is. Once you read the book, you will understand why I look up to her so much, or maybe you already do, but all I can say she is incredibly amazing and so much more.
I really do hope she get's into politics.
Ziauddin and Tor Pekai Malala's Father and Mother
What a father, in any country or society! I went and looked up some quotes from him (and I recommend you do the same) and they are so inspirational. Here are some...
"Malala used to be known as my daughter, but now I am known as her father - and proud of it."
Trust your daughters, they are faithful. Honor your daughters, they are honourable. And educate your daughters, they amazing!
So inspirational. To raise a daughter like this in a country that tries so hard to promote the demolozition of the rights of women, it profound, and he's has done such an amazing job.
I also give a lot of my respect to Malala's mother. Learning to read and to speak another language so late is brave on it on, but to do it somewhere where you could die for it, that's mind boggling! She's incredibly brave as a women, and as a mother. I just find it incredible that Malala could have two such wonderful parents who are so incredibly supportive of their daughter in a time where she is most needed.
Her Brothers and Friends
Her brother's almost bring her back down to earth. She gets so much attention from the world, but they do not let that change the fact that she is their older sister, and they have a responsibility to fight and argue with her. But they also seem amazing, allowing their sister to fight for women's rights, and being by her side.
Her relationship with her friends under the circumstances are very interesting. They, along with a lot of other people, are brave. Disobeying orders and running to school.

Holding Malala in your lap, just after she's been shot. That, personally, would freak me out.Spoiler
Planning meetings to help get more girls into school.If you are the least bit curious about this book, just read it. I really enjoyed it, and I certainly hope you do too.
Enjoy.
