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.

As I read this book my very first thought is why isn't there more publicity about what he is doing?? It is so simple and in a part of the world where Americans are mistrusted , he has made a difference. If you can read this book and NOT want to do something positive it is surprising. The suggestions at the end of the book include writing a review, so I did.
I recommend it to anyone who is concerned about peace and improving the lot of children in far off nations.

The author succinctly decribes Greg Mortenson's true story of adventure and courage. Greg's total focus on the building of schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan could help the U.S. understand how to really help these battered countries in a peaceful and constructive way.
