This is an amazing story of what one individual with perseverance, endeavour and luck can really do. If more people in the world displayed this kind of care and determination to those that are not as well off as us in the UK then the world would be a much better place. What Mortensen has achieved in a part of the world where he would not be normally welcome has really broken boundaries.
As a book it is an engaging page turner as you want to find out what happens next and so it is easy to finish in a couple of days. It is written in a format that makes it accessible to all and should be read by everyone.
Definitely one for everyone, any age to read. Just get a copy!
I don't normally go for this sort of book but a friend said it was amazing and insisted I gave it a try. Greg Mortenson is a truly awesome human being and his selfless work is awe inspiring. In times of terrorism and war, it is vital to understand his message, that education is the key to breaking the cycle. I would recommend this book to anyone. Without people like Greg, the world will never change! What an amazing man and what an amazing story.
Lost in the wilds after almost conquering K2, Greg Mortenson's life was turned round. With a vision that drove him relentlessly, he started to raise money for schools that remote communities were desperate for..and which became tools for peace . Well-written and inspiring.
