"The Enemy is Ignorance"

Through persistence, lots of help, and great effort, Greg Mortenson has already accomplished more than our entire military could ever accomplish. Building schools for boys and girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan is the ticket. Spreading literacy among children in these areas is perhaps the best way to fight against the madrasas - the fundamentalist schools. His book is really trying to tell us that there is another way, a better way to fight terrorism, and it isn't with missiles; it's with books. The book flows well; it's easy to read. Anybody can read it.

Amazing Story

Amazing story, I understand the Pakistan, Afghanistan region better thanks to the final few chapters of the book. For anyone looking for inspiration that one person CAN make a difference and one dollar can make a difference, this book is it. Perhaps a few more people will lobby the government to spend a tenth of the price of bombs on rebuilding schools and lives, thanks to this book.

I agree with others that the writing is overly polished, but the reader will be so mesmerized by the story that the writing flows by.

Wonderful!

It is stunning what good one person with determination can accom;lish! Recommended reading for everyone!

Three Cups of Tea

I had a hard time with the first part of the book, just getting used to all the names of the countries and the tribes and skimmed over some of the lengthy descriptive sections. The map in the front was helpful. Once the story started I became involved and extremely interested in the people and their culture. There was a very strong message here and I wish that everyone would ascribe to it. I would strongly recommend reading this very moving and inspirational account of one man's ability to make a difference.
