Truly inspiring. This man is a hero, his story and his message need to be passed on if we are to aspire to make peace in the world. Read this book if it is the only one you read ever.

I loved this book. I had seen Mr. Mortenson on Book TV and he is every bit as sincere and humble and self-effacing as described in the book. I ordered through interlibrary loan. Before I finished with the first part, I knew I had to OWN the book, so I ordered two copies. I gave one to my son's family and the other (after I finished reading it) to our grandson who is a sophomore in college and planning a U.S.Army career via ROTC. Of course, he is very interested in anything about Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan, and I wanted him to know of ways to deal with that region besides with a gun. I plan to order a couple of more copies -- one to reread and another to lend or give to our local library. Yes, the book is not always easy reading, but I loved the descriptive writing. I felt as though I had actually been to the region by the time I had finished. It was excellent background for the next book I read, Ambassador James F. Dobbins' "After the Taliban: Nation-Building in Afghanistan." (see my review there.)
So good I gave it as a gift!! October 14, 2008

This book was great. I really enjoyed it and it was such a good story. I am glad to see there are still a few real genuine humanitarians out there. I recommend this book to everyone I know.

This book was about one man who happened upon a village when he was coming down from K-2. It was well written and showed what one person can do who desires to make a difference. It also shows how we must all learn and respect the cultures of other countries and work with the people and not against them. I loved the book and admire the work that Greg Mortenson is atttempting to do.
