Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is not only an enjoyable real life story, it is an important read in these difficult times.

Mixed Feelings

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2009
The Bottom Line: I recommend that people read about Greg Mortenson, because what he is doing is very important.  However, this book did not keep my interest for very long.

Review: The book gets off to a slow start, but it's worth it to keep going! I read this for a school project, and I normally dislike the books chosen. This one blew me away. Greg Mortenson's story is a lasting message of peace in an area that many people do...
