Books Three Cups of Tea
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Why so long?
I appreciate Mortenson's selfless quest to make the world a better place, and Relin presents us with many reasons to admire Mortenson as a hero.

At the same time, this book is too long by half. I was forced to skim. Other reviewers have disparaged Relin's poetic descriptions, but I find them amusing diversions from otherwise boring swaths of incidental material.

Read the beginning and ending quarters of the book; skim the center half and pass it on to someone who needs news of some good being done in our bleak world today.

Rating: - Three Cups of Tea- worth every ounce of understanding
If you want to better understand the region, reading Three Cups of Tea is a great way to get started. It is a thoughtful, well written account of what life is like in this remote region of Pakistan.

Rating: - The story is still happening!
Greg Mortenson has undertaken an adventure which is leading him up mountains, across deserts, through valleys, and into homes and human relationships that dramatically change lives, including his own, possibly even the reader's. This book is not only adventure but love story, "how to" manual (want to build a bridge over a ravine?), geography lesson, and political insight. We've gifted so far 15 copies and we eagerly await the comments of "our" readers.

Rating: - Yipee! Someone else "gets it" education does promote peace!!
Finally, someone else seems to understand that educating our young people is the path to peace, tolerance, and a better world. If it works in the USA, Europe and in other relatively peaceful places, why not Pakistan and Afghanistan? And, if gangs are the result of neglect and societal invisibility in the USA, why should we be surprised the results are similar elsewhere?

Thanks to Dr. Greg for doing his best with his life!!!
