ReviewsHer riveting story should be read not only for its vivid drama but also for its urgent message about the untapped power of girls., A gripping story.... What makes this book so important is not just the universal value of Malala's cause.... It's the relevance of her story to one of the most vexing security questions in today's crazy world...., In simple, clear writing, I AM MALALA gives a rare and moving first-person glance into what it's like to be a teenager in a country seized by extremists who stand against the basic freedoms you believe in., Incredibly inspirational.... Malala is intelligent and fiery with dreams of changing the world, but the book has the added benefit of being a true story that is easily interwoven with important global issues such as human rights, development, education, and peace.... If there is one thing that I AM MALALA should teach us, it is to look beyond Manichean narratives of good and evil. It is important to applaud Malala for the awareness she has built around important issues like education for young women., For a teenage girl in a distant corner of the globe to spark life into this movement-against overwhelming odds-is truly extraordinary. The world must not allow Malala's message to die., Ms. Yousafzai has single-handedly turned the issue of the right of girls--and all children--to be educated into headline news. And she is a figure worth hearing., Not only has Malala Yousafzai become an international symbol of inspiration and bravery, but her survival instilled educators with courage-and is slowly helping make Pakistani schools safer., An inspiring, clearly written memoir that offers a glimpse of an extraordinary young woman and the confounding world from which she comes., Malala matters....In her modesty and dignity, she should be Islam's beloved daughter, her journey a return to the early promise of Muslim modernism., One hears some ghosts of Anne Frank in reading I AM MALALA, the flightiness, effervescence and, well...girlishness of an adolescent girl flung once again the indifferent violence of inhuman men, like flowers hurled against a stone wall., The voice that beams, 'I am Malala' is the voice that continues to meet the assassin's challenge. It is the voice of a courageous campaigner who still fights for girls' education. The voice of an icon who may one day be able to return to her country, but who even from afar symbolizes its noblest cause., The touching story will not only inform you of changing conditions in Pakistan, but inspire your rebellious spirit., Remarkable...a must-read, first-person account of her journey through global terrorism, her brave, encouraging parents, and her own fight for girls' education., Riveting.... Co-written with Christina Lamb, a veteran British journalist who has an evident passion for Pakistan and can render its complicated history with pristine clarity, this is a book that should be read not only for its vivid drama but for its urgent message about the untapped power of girls.... It is difficult to imagine a chronicle of a war more moving, apart from perhaps the diary of Anne Frank. With the essential difference that we lost that girl, and by some miracle, we still have this one.

SynopsisA MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman "I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

Heavy historical fact
This measure to buy these books was purely to forward my understanding of the history of Russia, and its revolution. It is not compelling content to me, personally but for the exception that the work reveals the thought of a mysterious historical figure who is in my mind in question, as the leader of the proletariat, if there ever was one, it was not him, I think but time will tell, time will tell, time alone alone will tell.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Type of book you'll re-read
My 15 yr old daughter first read this book from the library. She liked it so much that she asked if we could please buy it. To me that says a lot. She has encouraged her dad and I to also read it. So we hope to one day too.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Awesome book
Every American should read or audiobook this book. We only find peace and call out real evil when we understand each other and our pasts that shape us. Malala helps us to understand thewhys and hows we are where we are in the world and how not to become the same in this country.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Good history. Okay writing
The writing style was very confusing to me. Toward the end it was a lot easier to read. It had a lot of historical content, sometime more than the story needed.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
