 A review by Brandon Jones December 1, 2008

The story is very good. It was a little hard to get into because it is not something that is of particular interest to me. I think it is wonderful that he wanted to help those children but I personally believe that we should help the children of the U.S. first. I am sure that there are places in the U.S. that would benefit from help like this.

I noticed this book at the local Junior College bookstore while looking for a textbook. It intrigued me enough to buy it and read it. This story is amazing and the book is well written. I was so inspired I bought it for each of my 3 grown children and have mentioned it to others. I visited the website and donated money to build more schools. You should too!
Inspirational, well-written, fantastic November 30, 2008

An incredibly inspirational book. Greg Mortenson has been working incredibly hard in one of the world's most desolate and ignored areas of the world. This is his story and will give you a glimpse into the importance of being the change you would like to see.
Great book November 30, 2008

I just have to disagree with reviewers who somehow got the impression that Greg Mortenson built his schools single-handedly or claimed that he did. One of the best features of the book, for me, was how much credit he gave to the local people, and how much he leaned on them, which I think he knew was the key to truly helping them. Give a man a fish and all that.
Also I didn't find that the authors claimed to be "fighting terrorism" (and even mention in the end that they fought hard to pull "terrorism" out of the subtitle) for which some reviewers criticized them. I got the impression the goal was just to help some folks, and it spiraled from there.
Great book!
