Average Rating: 
Rating: - The underdog helping the underdogs
This well written story is a very inspiring read for all of us who care about social justice. Here is a man unskilled for the challenges he takes on and who without any financial resources follows up on his word and starts to improve the world. The example of Mortenson takes excuses away from everyone. His adventures are touching. His commitment is complete and unwavering.
With the tensions between the Muslim world and the western world, it is tempting to oversimplify our perception ... Read More
Rating: - Incredible Book!!
This is the best story I have ever read. The incredible journey that Greg Mortenson's life leads him is amazing!

The story is extremely exciting and it's hard to believe that it's true accounts of a single mans quest. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!! It makes you believe that one person can make a difference!!!

Rating: - Three cups of tea
I think this book was amazing. "Dr. Greg" spoke at my university which was amazing in and of itself, then after reading this book I have to say he is one of my heroes. The book is well written and gives insight into the many dilemmas facing the US in Afghanistan today while also providing an inspiring story of one man's mission to change the world and do what most believe is utterly impossible. Fantastic Book!!!
Rating:  - Nice enough story, but poorly written
I bought this book because I was looking for something inspirational, and while it is a nice story, it is so poorly written I find it hard to recommend. It would have been interesting to see what an established writer like Jon Krakauer (Into Thin Air) would have done with it.
