The extraordinary, incredibly moving, hopeful, and heroic story of Mortenson's quest to build schools in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly for girls. A fascinating, compelling, and human portrait of a troubled world and the amazing power of education to change that world for the better. Children transcend culture and religion, and the promise and strength of education fulfills a need greater than anything. Mortenson (and all those that help him) is a true and amazing hero, despite all odds, to fight to bring education to the rural poor of these countries, to promote peace, respect, love, and understanding between our two cultures in exactly the right way. Fascinating, moving, wonderous read that cannot be put down. A must read. Grade: A+

Love this book... Greg Mortenson"s amazing story is captivating. This story is a proof that one person can make a difference. His determination to make a difference in the lives of children that live in the most unfortunate parts of the world is huge. And he did it. Nothing stopped him. I highly recomend this book. He is a modern day hero, hands down.

Greg Mortenson shows us that one person can make a difference and maybe even change the world. Education is the key to everything - for us all to better understand and appreciate all the cultures of the world and for all of us to have the same knowledge base which will ultimately create a better world and maybe even result in peace. Read this book and figure out your own way to make a difference. Greg Mortenson has done it with self-sacrifice, deep humility and respect for us all. Imagine what could happen if we all did the same.

Here's a cliche phrase for you: A MUST READ.
three cups of tea is an inspiring mission with a storyline. I know many will, after reading, find the urge to go do something and make a difference. It includes lots of profound lines that teach great, encouraging lessons. You almost want to finish it one sitting, but at the same time don't want it to end.
