I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
4.0
Bullet Review:
I'm not going to write up a review, because how can you REALLY judge another person's life? I will just say this: Malala's story is incredible, no small bit to her extraordinary parents (and of course herself, but I don't think had she had different parents, she would have ended up quite like this). Compared to many other celebrity kids (I'm looking at you Justin Bieber, Gabrielle Douglas, and Miley Cyrus - which, BTW, the latter would be far more interesting NOW than when she got a book deal, hot off Hannah Montana), this one is well written, interesting, in-depth and comprehensive. For someone who knew next to nothing about Pakistan before reading this, I learned loads and never felt lost.
Definitely a great read and what an admirable young woman! I think she will be a powerful leader and is a great example of how Millennials aren't the greedy slobs living in basements parasiting off their parents' incomes that journalists like to paint them.
