.Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

by: Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

January 30, 2007
Yes, Greg Mortenson has an admirable mission. The Central Asia Institute is wonderful and lovely and education for impoverished children is an important and worthy cause. All the more reason that Mr Mortenson's story should be told well, don't you agree?

I would remind all the reviewers who gush about this book that this page is for reviewing the book 'Three Cups of Tea', not the organization for whose benefit it was written. And while there are few of us who would give Mr Mortenson and the Institute anything but 5 stars, 'Three Cups of Tea', sadly, does not measure up as a novel.

.Three Cups of Tea

by: Greg Mortenson

January 31, 2008
Three Cups reads like a novel, which makes it a page turner and easy read. The book drew me in through the adventure of the climb and then the characters. Once hooked, discover an amazing person, with inner strength and will and purpose.

This book is a must read for understanding the everyday people of rural pakistan and afganistan, the good and evil. What can motivate charitable giving, and what one person can do.

.THREE CUPS OF TEA: ONE MAN'S MISSION TO PROMOTE PEACE . . . ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME.

by: Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

2006
Greg Mortensen has created a very special organization bringing education, clean drinking water, and other basic services to remote parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This book chronicles his amazing story, from his childhood in Tanzania, to the epic K2 attempt that accidentally landed him in Korphe, to the amazing work he did to get the schools going, staffed, etc. This is an incredibly inspirational story about a man with few to little means who worked so hard to make a difference in a place that is viewed with suspicion by many Americans.
