Literary Genius?--No...Unbelievable Humanitarian Strides?--Yes!

Three Cups of Tea isn't a work of literary genius...something you'd pick apart for AP Literature classes in high school or writing classes in college...it's not Poe, Steinbeck, Orwell, or Shakespeare...but the words that are weaved together in this book that retells the ten years of Greg Mortenson's life when he went on the biggest adventure of his life, reaching a summit far higher than that of K2, are maybe more valuable than any of the best classic literature or informative non-fiction in the world. The strides that Mortenson took after chance brought him to the village of Korphe in Northern Pakistan are amazing.

Three Cups of Tea chronicles both the eccentricities that become Greg Mortenson in his life in the U.S. as well as the footsteps he took, lessons he learned, and lives he changed while in Pakistan and parts of Afgahanistan.

Three Cups is filled with suspense at times when he's captured by unknowns, sitting to drink tea with Taliban leaders, or just barely escaping death in a tunnel in Afghanistan.

Three Cups is filled with emotion at times when Mortenson is building this father-son relationship with Haji Ali, the leader of the village of Korphe, sharing the best friend relationship that was built in just six days with his future wife Tara, and recounting the power that Jahan, granddaughter of Haji Ali, has received through her education and how her empowerment has given her high hopes for the rest of her life.

Three Cups is a book so full that everyone should read it. It's not a literary work of art, it's a humanitarian work of art.

An inspiring true story...

This book is an amazing account of what one person can do to change the world. For me, it was interesting to learn about how one can promote peace through education, by changing the way people perceive things. Too often, innocent lives are lost because of ignorance and intolerance. Greg Mortenson is an example to all of us.

READ THIS BOOK!

I agree with other reviews that this book isn't necessarily well written, but the story deserves all the stars in the sky. You need to read this book. Don't borrow it from the library-- buy it to help raise money for this cause! If this book were fiction, you wouldn't believe it.

So go buy it, already! :-)


Three Cups of Tea

Oh MY! I loved it. I have recommended it to others to read, and also have started a monthly contribution to the school. It was such an eye opener to the crisis we are in right now with the middle east and how a lone individual can make a difference, which consequently will have a positive affect on our future.
