I was so impressed with the accomplishments of this young man and his philosophy of peace by education, that I chose it for our book club. They were so impressed that they voted to send it to our California legislators and the President. Not only is the message vitally important, but Greg Mortenson's harrowing adventures climbing K2 and later among mostly, but not always, friendly villagers keeps one riveted to each page. It is well written and highly recommended for all ages.

Great book. Picked up by pure luck and could not put it down. Mr Mortenson is my hero. If all of us took our part in making a small difference in this world, maybe one day this world would see peace on Earth! Everyone should read this book!

I loved this book. We read it for book group. So inspiring and well written. I whipped right through it. I loved how the author told the story. I read it at the same time as Looming Towers. Interesting to have the scholarly versus the personal view. I found it hopeful how much villages wanted to be educated and to pitch in and help with that process.

This book is fantastic! It is so inspiring. It gives us great insights and understanding of another culture and the Muslim faith. Education is so very important and something we take for granted in the USA. This book should be required reading for all high school and college students. It shows that we can all make a difference to someone who truly needs our help.
