Book Reviews of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Book Review: Incredible story, shameful writing
Summary: 3 Stars
With a story this incredible, it's surprising they couldn't find (or afford?) a higher-quality author to tell it. I couldn't even finish the book for the annoyance of the bad writing, so instead I read interviews and snippets off websites describing the work Greg et al. have done. I've found that venue more interesting and real than trying to plough through 200+ pages of poorly written sludge. It's shameful the writing doesn't live up to the work done by Greg and the CAI.

Summary of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban's backyardAnyone who despairs of the individual's power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan's treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools-especially for girls-that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson's quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
