'I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. We'd finished for the day and I was on the open-back truck we use as a school bus. There we ...more

Reading this book reminded me of how much I take for granted every day: Freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. The freedom to go to the store without needing a male escort. And the ability to get an education, regardless of gender.

"I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children."

The freedom to go to the store without needing a male escort. And the ability to get an education, regardless of gender.

"I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children."

Malala, who is now 16, is an outspoken advocate for girls to have the same right to go to school as boys. In her native Pakistan, she lost that ability when the Taliban took over: "I was 10 when the Taliban came to our valley ... It seemed to us that the Taliban arrived in the night just like vampires. They appeared in groups, armed with knives and Kalashnikovs ... They looked so dark and dirty and that my father's friend described them as 'people deprived of baths and barbers.'"

The Taliban started bombing schools and decreed that girls couldn't get an education. Malala's father was a school principal and encouraged her to speak out. She was only 15 at the time, but threats were made against her and her family. And in October 2012, when she was riding the school bus with her friends, a man with a gun climbed aboard the vehicle and shot Malala in the head.

Amazingly, Malala survived the bullet and was able to recover. She and her family currently live in England, but Malala writes about how much she misses her home country and wishes she could return to be with her friends. Her graciousness was such that she did not wish revenge on her attacker, and instead prays for peace.

"I thank Allah for the hardworking doctors, for my recovery and for sending us to this world where we may struggle for our survival. Some people choose good ways and some choose bad ways. One person's bullet hit me. It swelled my brain, stole my hearing and cut the nerve of my left face in the space of a second. And after that one second there were millions of people praying for my life and talented doctors who gave me my body back. I was a good girl. In my heart I had only the desire to help people."

Malala's story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. I admire her courage and her tenacity, and also hope that her country will one day find peace. "Why are we Muslims fighting with each other? ... We should focus on practical issues. We have so many people in our country who are illiterate, and many women have no education at all. We live in a place where schools are blown up. We have no reliable electricity supply. Not a single day passes without the killing of at least one Pakistani."

The book is lovingly written, and I also appreciated her stories about the history of Pakistan and her people, the Pashtuns. While reading the book I realized that I knew more about the history of other countries in the region, such as Afghanistan, Iran and India, than I did about Pakistan, and it was very informative. I would highly recommend the book to anyone interested in women's rights, current events, history or inspirational memoirs.

"Today we all know education is our basic right. Not just in the West; Islam too has given us this right. Islam says every girl and every boy should go to school. In the Quran it is written, God wants us to have knowledge. He wants us to know why the sky is blue and about oceans and stars ... The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they couldn't stop our minds from thinking."

Update October 2014:
I was thrilled to hear that Malala had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. I have recommended this book to numerous people in the past year, and am still amazed by her courage. Three cheers for Malala!

Just to be clear, the rating is for the book not the person Malala herself. I read this quickly whilst on holidays and was keen to find out more about her story after seeing a short tv piece just before leaving home. I think her story is amazing and her courage remarkable, her plight and vision inspiring but the book itself I found to be an odd mix of political and historical fact and personal reflections that didn't quite gel for me. Still a worthy read and I really appreciated the insight into ...more

Being a fellow Muslim, I was indeed intrigued and awed by the courage of this young girl who is brave enough to state out what is wrong with her country and strive for education to be available for all.

Coming from a country where education is a main priority and females over populated the men in schools,colleges and universities, I was indeed aghast to discovered that in certain parts of the world, women are being treated as second class citizens. It brought a tear to my eyes, how Malala and her ...more

2.5 stars..

OK shoot me!

I actually hated this book, because the co-author named Christina Lamb actually used 3/4 of the book and sensationalise everything. EVERYTHING! That is why I am giving 2 stars for the 3/4 of the first part of the book. And this co-author put on dates and tragedies and events and it was like, I am in war all over.

I actually enjoyed Malala Yousafzai retelling, on her father's dream, on her school, on her daily life. But when the other author start saying Pakistan is bad all over, oh hey, I got quite a few friends who are studying for their qualifications in the UK, and they turned out quite well. And they are men, and not Talibans.

I know Talibans are wrong because they stop the girls for going to school and be educated. But there are some people who are not bad. The way Christina Lamb painted that all Pakistanis are violent (that's the vibes here) makes me want to smack her. I am a Muslim, BTW, and this co-author who is living in London is trying to say Muslims are bad.. oh heck.

But for the second part, 1/4 of the book, it will be 3 stars. This is because Malala's voice has become more prominent later in the book. And I do love and enjoy her stories after she survived that Taliban shooting in her school bus.

OK if I can survive this auto biography, maybe I will survive other horrid books. ...more

I really wanted to love this book. I don't think anyone can deny the difficulties this girl has faced or the impact she has had on the world. However, the book reads like an odd jumble of Pakistani history, politics, and personal experience that never quite comes together into a cohesive narrative. The first few chapters are very inconsistent and meander all over the place with no clear destination; it sounds more like a collection of memories or family stories interspersed with factual informat ...more

I absolutely loved this book. I have been following this story ever since Malala Yousafzai was shot and articles about her began to appear on CNN.com. I was always captivated by the way Malala spoke in interviews before she was attacked: I simply loved the sound of her voice and the sight of her face, which seemed to shine with her spirit. She might not think she is beautiful, but to me she is stunning. I adore the bright colors she wears and the liquid wonder of her eyes.

It was difficult to rea I absolutely loved this book. I have been following this story ever since Malala Yousafzai was shot and articles about her began to appear on CNN.com. I was always captivated by the way Malala spoke in interviews before she was attacked: I simply loved the sound of her voice and the sight of her face, which seemed to shine with her spirit. She might not think she is beautiful, but to me she is stunning. I adore the bright colors she wears and the liquid wonder of her eyes.

It was difficult to read about the shameful, cowardly attack on her, from her own POV. I empathized so much that it was painful to hear the details--some of which she could only describe as being what was told to her about the shooting.

On the other hand, I will always remember one statement she made. "A Talib fires three shots at point-blank range at three girls in a van and doesn’t kill any of them . . . I know God stopped me from going to the grave. It feels like this life is a second life. People prayed to God to spare me, and I was spared for a reason— to use my life for helping people."

It will always give me chills to think that it is amazing indeed that a Talib gunman fired three bullets, intending to kill one young girl--and that, unbelievably, he failed. I find it very hard to argue with the idea that Malala was, in fact, spared for a reason.

The parts I enjoyed most about this autobiography were the beginning and end, where Malala speaks about her home, the Swat Valley, and everything that she loved and was proud about there: from her amazing father who, unlike most Pashtuns, celebrated when his wife gave birth to a daughter, to her best friend Moniba, with whom she giggled and played with, and who was also her rival for top of the class at at Kahshul School.

When Malala described an ordinary day in her old life, fighting with her younger brothers, listening to the village women who would gather at her mother's in the afternoon, I was absolutely charmed. It seemed that there was no ghostwriter and that I could hear Malala's voice speaking the words aloud as clearly as I had heard her speak on videos about her mission to help all girls, everywhere, get an education. I was fascinated to read that Malala was named after the brave Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and startled and concerned to read about the Pashtunwali code, by which all Pashtuns live, which deals with honor, but which demands revenge in kind for any attack or killing and can lead to never-ending blood-feuds easily.

When it came to the terrifying attack and all that happened in its aftermath, I was glued to the book, reading page after page with breath-snatching speed. There was so much that I had never even imagined: the suffering of her parents after the shooting, the story of how they worried about ever seeing their daughter again once Malala was airlifted to England. I think that any reader from ten years on up could read and be just as captivated as I was. Although many parts of this story brought tears to my eyes I couldn't stop reading, and although I knew that Malala would make it I was white-knuckled while I learned about the details of her medical treatment.

The only part that seemed to bog down was the middle of the book, where Malala describes many political events in her homeland. In these it seemed that Malala’s voice was obscured and I rather quickly got lost in the details of which leader promised what and how this or that man became corrupt and never came through on their promises.

Even if you just skim through this part, the book is most definitely worth reading. I came to love Malala even more dearly than I could have imagined, and to admire and even envy the bond she had with her father, the man who was determined to open a school in which girls could be educated. I couldn't help but feel great affection for all Malala's family, her people, and everything in the beautiful valley she misses as she lives in exile.

I was hoping that Malala would win the Nobel Peace prize this year, not out of pity for someone who was a survivor of a hideous attack, but simply because I believe she has had an amazing effect on the world. She has brought together people from all over the globe in a way that I believe will have profound implications for the key to a better life for women in countries where it is currently against the law for girls to have a true education. I also thought that it would be stunning if the Nobel committee acknowledged that a teenager—a teenage girl—could have had so great a role in making people of different cultures understand each other.

But Malala has plenty of time, and I have no doubt that she will distinguish herself again and again with her moving speeches, her gentle, stubborn nature, and her unique view of life in years to come. I hope that there will be more books by Malala in the future about why education is so important for girls around the world.
Finally, I would like to say “Wah wah” to Malala about the entire autobiography. She says that this is what one says when a particular line or stanza of a poem pleases you, and is a bit like “Bravo.” Wah wah and Bravissima to Malala.

I would ask all those Pakistanis who are making the book controversial through over-sensationalized and misplaced critiques:

1. Please remove the lenses of bigotry and prejudice and read the book in a casual way. Its not a great book so comparisons with Anne Frank's diary are perhaps out of proportion. However, I would hate to speculate that it might be considered a great classic if Pakistan continues on its usual disastrous course and experience a people's tragedy comparable to holocaust.

However, I would hate to speculate that it might be considered a great classic if Pakistan continues on its usual disastrous course and experience a people's tragedy comparable to holocaust. This in my humble yet optimistic view is impossible, God willing.

2. It is not even a well-written work either; understandably so, since its from a young girl. Its just an ad lib commentary by a 16 year old girl which is most probably composed by Christina Lamb in readable English. Our so-called second grade media intellectuals who have issues with Lamb's reputation, well Yousufzai is not synonymous with Lamb. At least try to add a minimum possible of degree of objectivity in your criticism.

3. When you quote, please do so with the purpose of discussion and critique rather than ridicule. Please learn to read and understand the texts. They are meaningless and misleading without a context. Those who are calling it interpretation of her father's ideas, well what if I may ask is wrong with that? All 16-year olds think their fathers are cool. We, as fathers and mothers, have right to impart our version of goodness into our children. We may disagree with each others' views but disagreeing with other's interpretation of history, politics and social issues doesn't make one anti-Islam or anti-Pakistan.

4. It might be a very interesting work for western audience, specially when Lamb ostensibly lets Yousafzai speak (in my view Lamb has added historical and political bits to it where necessary for coherence of discourse), but have very little for Pakistani reader in terms of engagement with the text. However, what you must understand is that you are reading a very brave girl who can stand eye-to-eye with adversity and horrors in conditions where most of us would end up compromising with our liberty or would simply run away. She is a brave girl, mentored and taught life by an audacious father. We must be proud of her and listen her carefully since we have a young hero towards whom we can point our children to look-up to.

Lastly, lets try to read the same book the author has intended to write; please don't end up reading the book which you intend to criticize, apriori ...more

If she was so annoyed with Swat being a part of Pakistan why does not she openly say that I am not a daughter of Pakistan rather daughter of swat. She has further cemented the mistake West has made over the years. You see each area in Pakistan has its regional customs in addition to Islamic customs and traditions. She failed to clarify that What Pashtuns or Taliban are soliciting is a cocktail of Islamic and Pashtun traditions. Islam never debars any Muslim from seeking education. Our Prophet Muhammad May Peace Be Upon Him solicited that seek knowledge even if you have to walk to China. Also education and knowledge attainment is mandatory for Muslim women and men.

I'd like to enlighten the western public that science practicals and computer labs are available in Pakistani educational institutes. The access may be shared among students but availability is there. Being a graduate myself from UK mu college had a computer lab which had a designated area for me. If I required to load a laptop I had to furnish a written request and wait in a queue.

Most alarming thing for me was that Pakistani's oppress women. This could be attributed to rural areas but not at all applicable to cities or urban towns. We have doctors, teachers, accountants, nurses, air force and commercial pilots. More than a decade ago Islamabad witnessed Pakistan's first lady cab driver, a widow who purchased a cab on hire purchase under the then Prime Minister's initiative.

Thank God I did not purchase this book otherwise it would have been a waste of £7.49 of my hard earned money.

So Who so ever has read this book please my earnest appeal is to consult the Holy Quran and also if possible do visit Pakistan and then decide.

Till then May Almighty be with you and bless you

First there is the question of Local Talibans forcing girls from going to schools. That is not true. I was, as everyone else, a regular listener of the Taliban's daily half an hour or so long FM radio broadcast and they only verbally 'forced' girls to wear proper veils when going to school, which was hardly an enforcement as the local culture is already extremely conscious of the 'veil' (Mala herself wears a scarf). However, to my knowledge they 'encouraged' girls to leave 'western' schools but they 'claimed' that after installing an Islamic government here in the area, they would set up proper 'exemplary' girls schools. In fact, in the local tribal society it is unthinkable to 'force' a woman or girl from doing or not doing something as it is tantamount to man-handling them, which is, frankly speaking, a sure way to get killed or beaten not only by relatives (distant or near) of the woman/girl but anyone who is nearby. Anyone here can testify to fact that on various occasions many 'individual' talibans were mercilessly beaten up by locals when they spoke to shopping women reproachfully. Additionally, the Talibans were locals (later they were joined by savages from central Asian region and Afghanistan but they kept to themselves) and they never held absolute power here.. As opposed to the official stance, the people of Swat never left their homes when Talibans were in control, as a matter of fact, they were 'forced' to leave when army started the operation by the army.

Secondly, Talibans were never in control of the city where Malala resided for so long as to impose their alleged rule. They entered the city in early May ( I was there buying DVDs with friends) by then the impending military operation had already caused educational institutions to close indefinitely. A week or ten days after the 'invasion' of the city (they, despite the hype, actually numbered not more than two or two and a half dozen who 'occupied' few private buildings and hotels) army entered the city. In any case, people started to leave the city after Taliban 'invasion' for fear of artillery and aerial bombardment by the army. Therefore, it highly unlikely that there were any female students still going to schools. This 'timing' problems also exist in her 'diary', dated January & February, which records the 'incidents' on her way to school. Valley Swat is officially a 'Winter Zone' and all educational institutions are closed for winter vacation on the 25th of December to 1st of March.

Thirdly, no one is aware of anyone raising their voice for the general cause of girls education at any point during the uprising in any way or on any forum (since there was nothing as such called for). However, I personally am aware of two occasions where a relative(s), affiliated with the Talibans, tried to stop daughters or sisters of close relatives from going to school and were physically forced to abstain from any such acts in the future.

I personally do not wish to malign anyone's reputation, especially not that of the adorable yet unfortunate Malala whose courage and personality I admire. However, as the history is been written, I would disapprove of any one who may, innocently, inadvertently or deliberately, represent truth in a distorted form. We were unfortunate enough to have had Talibans forced upon us, let us not be burdened with half-truths and tarnished representation.
I am not alone in these perception, everyone share them here. That was the reason that the students of prime Girls College in the city here refused their college to be named after Mala.. In fact, the allegedly' repressed young girls vociferously protested out the college any such decision that forced the army and official authorities to relent.

I am led to understand that there is a 'Malala Fund' with millions of dollars with the aim to spread girls education in my area.. May I respectfully ask when would a dollar from that money be spent here for the cause? ...more

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday October 9, 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price. When she was shot in the head at point blank range while riding the bus home from school, 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 Yor ...more

Malala is a stand for education. A stand for women and especially female children getting an education. Sincerely passionate about educational injustice --- taking a shot in the head for it----she became the youngest person ever to be nominated and win the Nobel Peace Prize.

When you begin to look through the eyes of this young girl- politically-you can see a young girl aware of the lies and distortions she had been feed from her Government.
The difference is..., many of us, can remember being 16 years old, also aware as injustice in our world, yet we didn't stand alone- speak out... fight .. ( as if our lives depended on our fighting), for injustice in the world to the level this young girl did. So, yes.. This young girl was very brave.. ( everything people have said about her is true). Under horrific conditions... she kept speaking out.. at the risk of her safety. She herself is truly remarkable.

As far as the book itself.., it could have used some editing! Some parts were choppy-& disjointed - other parts felt immature, ( we are reminded that Malala 'is' still very young). Some parts, of course, we're painful- heartfelt- moving- but much was inspiring... because Malala is inspiring.

As brave as this young girl has been-- she is also a girl easy to support. The entire world knows who she is now. With the right type of guidance -and support -we should see more great contributions from Malala throughout her adulthood.

Malala is young powerful force.....,A Symbol of oppressed women fighting for education and other human rights. ...more

Her human rights advocacy for education and for women has transformed into an international movement; her courage to keep fighting after getting shot exemplifies her heroism. Her voice has reached so many and has influenced history. She has impacted the world by speaking out, and she writes about her father's support as well, adding back story to her honest desire to make a difference in the realm of Pakistani politics and female education.

I had actually discovered this book on the nightstand of my father and had not expected much from it as our tastes in literature are very different. I am, however, able to say that I was happily surprised with I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai. I Am Malala is the fearless and terrifying biography of a Pashtun girl living in Swat, Pakistan. At the age of fifteen Malala was shot in the head on her school bus by the Taliban because she believed in education for women. The writing in this novel illust I had actually discovered this book on the nightstand of my father and had not expected much from it as our tastes in literature are very different. I am, however, able to say that I was happily surprised with I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai. I Am Malala is the fearless and terrifying biography of a Pashtun girl living in Swat, Pakistan. At the age of fifteen Malala was shot in the head on her school bus by the Taliban because she believed in education for women. The writing in this novel illustrates the qualities of her country and how deep her love goes for a nation that couldn't provide what she wanted for everyone. She tells the history of Pakistan and the role women played in it. Written in her novel she said, "I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children." Malala speaks throughout the book about the need for every girl to have an education just as she had. Now she is an outspoken sixteen year old campaigning for women's rights as she retells the difficult events, leading up to and after, of her being shot on October the 9th, 2012. Malala lost her hearing and had a nerve cut in the left side of her face but she did not lose her love and her hope. Instead of vengeance she only wishes for peace.

Malala's story is both heartbreaking and entirely inspiring for not just girls but everyone. Her writing is filled with courage and an undeniable love that you cannot help but feel. While reading this book I became aware of my particular feelings toward the mistreatment of women and the unfairness of it all. Many of the topics Yousafzai mentioned in this biography were ones that shocked me and stole my breath. This girl, only a two years older than me, had already managed to stand up for something she believes so greatly in, despite the risks, and succeed in telling her miraculous story. It continually blows my mind that a girl my age had the courage to stand up for something when the odds against her were heavily stacked. In the book Malala talks of change and she actually has reasons, evidence, and solutions unlike so many others of our time.

I would very highly recommend this book to those that are young and old. People who particularly are interested in women's rights, history, or inspirational memoirs would enjoy this book. This book is not like those that I had read before but regardless it is most definitely in my top ten books of all time. This is a must read for everyone– boy, girl, young, old, everyone. It provides you with a grateful feeling for everything around you and after you are done reading you are still completely absorbed and infatuated with the storyline. I Am Malala is a piece of literature for all; this is by far the most inspirational and thought provoking novel I have read. ...more

مع بداية ال انطلقت بقراءة مذكّرات (أنا ملالا) للفائزة بجائزة نوبل للسلام (ملالا يوسفزاي) ولم أكن أتوقّع الكثير نظراً لأنني أعلم بأن عُمر هذه الفتاة هوَ 17 عام حالياً، فما هيَ التجربة التي ستتمكن من كتابتها، وما هو الأسلوب الذي ستتخذه في رواية الأحداث لنا نحن القرّاء، إلا أنني تفاجأت بشدّة، فالأسلوب جميل (على الرغم من أنّه بمساعدة –كريستينا لامب-)، والحكاية التي عاشتها أكّدت لي ما كُنت قد نسيته .. (لكل شخص منّا حكاية يُمكنه كتاباتها في وقتٍ ما ليزيد في رصيد الخبرات العالمية في التعامل مع الأحداث).
مع بداية المذكرات انتابني الشعور بأنني حقاً أقرأ لطفلة، تهتم بالألعاب تهتم بالقصص تهتم بكسب حُب والدها، إلا أنني كُنت أصدم بحجم طموحات هذه الفتاة البشتونية الباكستانية، كانت تبحث عن حُريّة التعليم بالدرجة الأولى مقابل مجموعة لا تفقه من الدين إلا رسمه، مذكراتها تحرّك المشاعر في كثير من الفصول، لم أتمكن من التوقف عن القراءة، خصوصاً بعدما قرأت في البداية عن أنّ هُناك من ارتقى ليقف أمامها ويطلق النار في وجهها!، كانت كُل الفصول التي لحقت هذا الفصل هيَ فصول شرح أسباب محاولة اغتيالها، وهذه الأسباب كثيرة منها معارضتها لقرار (طالبان) بعدم السماح للفتيات بالتعلّم والدراسة في المدارس، وإن انطوت تحت هذه المطالب بعض المطالب التي روّجت لها (ملالا) وركّزت عليها في أغلب الصفحات مثل: رغبتها بخلع (الحجاب) أو حتّى (الشال) الذي يغطّي شعرها، على الرغم من أني لم أستقرئ رغبتها بنزعه من الرؤوس، إلا أنّها كانت تطالب بحريتها الشخصية التي تقودها لمعرفة الأسباب والسؤال حول الأمور التي يستعصي فهمها في هذه الحياة.
في الكثير من الفصول نلاحظ أن والدها هوَ المؤسس لهذه الفتاة، كيف أنّه سمح لها بتقديم كُل شيء، والظهور على القنوات التلفزيونية الباكستانية والعالمية، وكيفَ أنّه سمح لها باستخدام القوّة العُظمى (الكتابة) حول الأوضاع في وادي (سوات) الذي تعيش فيه مع عائلتها، وكيفّ أن تنظيم (طالبان) تمكن من غسل الأدمغة بشكل جماعي باسم (الدين) والدين من هذه التصرفات الخرقاء براء، التنشئة هيَ أحد أهم عوامل التطوّر في المستقبل، لا التمرّد على العادات، بل هوَ الوعي الذي قادها لفهم أنّ (العلم نور) بشكل حقيقي. التدوين باسم مستعار كانت له حصّة مؤثّرة في المذكرات، فكتاباتها جعلت العالم يتساءل عن هذه البقعة التي يعيش فيها مجموعة بشرية تستحق الحياة ومجموعة أخرى تستحق أن يُعاد تأهيلها أو سحقها لأنّها تمثّل خطر على المجتمعات بشكل عام. – هُنا لي كلمة بسيطة (لا أؤمن بأننا يجب أن نُحب كُل العالم، فالخير مُستحسن لدى البشر وأحب من يكون خيّر، والشر مُستقبح لدى البشر وأبغض هذا الشر ومن يتطبّع بهذه الأطباع الاستبدادية، لا يمكن أن نكون على وفاق مع العالم أجمع، بل نحن يمكننا أن نكون أصدقاء لمن هُم طيبون، ونكون أعداء لمن هُم مُخرّبون ومُدمّرون) -.
في النهاية، هذه المذكرات مُلهمة، وقادرة على إعطاء دفعة معنوية كبيرة حول الإنجاز وقدرة تحقيقه، فالأمثلة كثيرة ولا يسعني ذكرها في مقال بسيط، كما أنّ الإرادة المصاحبة للعلم تقود صاحبها للمجد هوَ ما يمكن قراءته بين السطور. يُمكنني كتابة المزيد والمزيد وتفصيل الشرح حول هذه المذكرات إلا أنني أفضّل لكم قراءة الـ 400 صفحة بكل هدوء، لمعرفة الكثير من مشاكل العالم الإسلامي لا فقط باكستان، وأضمن لكم بأنّ هذه المعرفة ستكون بلغة سهلة بسيطة لا تحتاج إلى فهم مسبق لعالم الساسة –هُناك الكثير من النقد لهم في الكتاب- ولا نحتاج إلا لمعرفة أساسيات الحياة، لنتمكن من فهم مطالب هذه الشابّة التي أطلق النار على وجهها شخص يتبنّى الفكر الطالباني التكفيري الهمجي.
