This book shows the nature of human courage & fortitude. Bringing light of knowledge to a deprived & backward area is the noblest & kindest mission. Greg Mortenson has written a vivid tale of his educating mission. I think this book should be read by every leader of Pakistan to learn the ways of doing things in bringing their country forward. It teaches us that we can with a little effort can make the future of the backward regions a story of success. It is inspiring and shows us all the way to remove the darkness of ignorance and bringing hope where there was none. Arman Najmi, India

Captivating, heart-breaking, inspiring narrative of a man who fought terrorism and its factories in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan by building schools to children mostly girls. You will feel proud you are American.

Shoddily written, shameless self-promotion by a pedestrian writer who is full of himself.

Reading this book improved my world view. At a time when humans walking around the Middle East seem less than desirable, Mortenson's detailed description of his friends and contacts revived my spirit and even helped me become a better person because I loved his work, I loved his achievements and I loved the people he described so vividly. His remarkable efforts and achievements uplift everyone's spirit. I wanna do what he did!!

Nutrition for mind, heart and soul...best describes my experience reading Three Cups of Tea. Mortenson embraces the culture of a simple yet highly sophisticated world...fulfills a promise to give back to a community who takes him in...and teaches us through his persistence and humility...what is takes to truly understand the world behind the headlines and news briefs! Reading Three Cups of Tea will be a worthwhile endeavor!

I was given this book by a dear friend, who said, this is a must read! I had a hard time getting past the first two chapters then the book started sailing. I admire Greg Mortenson 100% but when it came to his being alone with the body of Mother Teresa and mournign her death, I felt perhaps I was reading a book of fiction. However, I could not put this book down and have recommended this book to a local book club!
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
First time novelist Vaddey Ratner captured my heart and senses in this novel based on her childhood in Cambodia. Her story transcends any news story...
