"As expected speedy shipping."
"Great book!"
"Again I say this is a great book if you need to brush up on German and/or you are trying to help someone else learn it."
"send it to my boyfriend , i will purchase it from you next time."
"Good but missing audio means you're missing a good chunk of the book."
"While there are many good elements, there are just as many flaws, most of which can briefly be summarized in the following points: (1) It is good to use contemporary topics when teaching any modern language, such as the book does, but it is simply wrong to use colloquial German to someone wanting to learn basic German conversation and translation skills. For example, Goethe's vastly outdated German writing (and topics) are nice for advanced High Schoolers in Germany, they are hardly text book material for foreigners who are struggling to learn the basics of the language."
"As long as you have a teacher to go more in depth, this textbook might work."

Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan transformed by terrorism, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. In this Young Readers Edition of her bestselling memoir, which has been reimagined specifically for a younger audience and includes exclusive photos and material, we hear firsthand the remarkable story of a girl who knew from a young age that she wanted to change the world -- and did. "Although her efforts to attend school, and the subsequent attack she endured, make for a powerful story, Yousafzai writes just as vividly about her daily life as a child in Pakistan.... Yousafzai's fresh, straightforward voice creates an easily read narrative that will introduce a slew of younger readers to both her story and her mission. [Yousafzai's] strong voice and ideals come across on every page, emphasizing how her surroundings and supportive family helped her become the relevant figure she is today....― SLJ.

"Her voice is very clear, and my students felt like they "got to know her" well."
"I found "I AM Malala" to be very well written and full of detailed information about her previous life, her school, friends and family times before she was shot by the Taliban."
"***********NO SPOILER REVIEW**********. What a sad, hopeful, beautiful story this is."
""I Am Malala" tells the story of a young woman who yearned for knowledge and education in Pakistan, a country where the Taliban persecutes the education of women, and who almost paid for these things with her life. Although the story of Malala's life and the history of the country are definitely worth reading, the flow of this book is hard to follow at times. Moreover, even though this is Malala's memoir, it seems that the book tells more about Pakistan and her extended family, which can leave the reader questioning if this book should truly be called a memoir for about half of the book."
