Summary: MY NEW LIFE BOOK
Comments: THIS 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. |

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

Summary: When there is a Will, there is a Way.
Comments: What 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 however 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!! |

Summary: EXCELLENT..WORTHY READ!!
Comments: I FOUND THE BOOK FASCINATING. THE BOOK WAS INSPIRATIONAL AND 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 endorse IT. |

Summary: More than meets the eye...
Comments: Greg Mortenson's personal transformation from a mountain climber to an agent of social change in Afghanistan is a fine reason to read this book.
Even more compelling is the extensive 1st-hand observation of a culture that remains a mystery to the West. As the US becomes increasingly engaged in military operations in Afghanistan, I urge readers to use this memoir to expand their understanding of a remote, foreign and strategically vital part of our world.
File under required reading for understanding complex current events.
