Nice enough story, but poorly written.
Rating: 3I 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.

MY NEW LIFE BOOK.
Rating: 4THIS STORY OF GREG'S TENACIOUS VICTORY WILL REMAIN A LIFE BOOK i WANT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. IT HAS GIVEN ME INSIGHT INTO A DISTANT REGION. A TIME LINE, GLOSSARY AND EVEN A LIST OF CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN BETTER.THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THE WESTERN WORLD.

a little humanity.
Rating: 5In this egomaniac, me age, it is refreshing to read about someone who thinks about helping others. Recommend this book to those who are xenophobic and who are afraid to travel outside the well trodden luxury hotel path.

When there is a Will, there is a Way..
Rating: 4What Greg Mortenson has done shows how human will to make a difference and be of some help can break all the barriers. He faced both cultural and financial barriers and over came. A Persian poet says: Put step in the way, And the way will tell you how to go ahead. And Mortenson is a proof of how "the way" takes you ahead when you have a certain will but no clue how to proceed. It also shows how humanity stands far above all differences, be it cultural, lingual, religious ...
The story telling is obviously not the best I have ever read. Thats why I rate it 4. Otherwise, Greg Mortenson deserves 5+. He is already in my list of living heroes!

EXCELLENT..WORTHY READ!.
Rating: 5I FOUND THE BOOK FASCINATING. THE BOOK WAS INSPIRATIONAL AND VERY EDUCATIONAL REGARDING AFGHANISTAN AND THE RIGHT FOR WOMAN'S EQUALITY AND RIGHTS WITHIN THAT COUNTRY. TO ACHIEVE HIS GOALS AND DREAMS, WITH LITTLE MORE THAN A WISH AND PRAYER, PROVED THAT TENACITY DOES PAYS OFF. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT.
