Book Reviews of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Book Review: You must read this book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Greg Mortensen is an amazing person. Three cups of tea is a book about how he started changing attitudes both in the West and in Central Asia through education on both sides. Reading this book is enlightening and readable given the current situation in that area and I highly reccommend it.Book Review: Brilliant

Book Review: Humbling.
Summary: 3 Stars
A very well told story about a selfless, dedicated, passionate and obsessive man who has immersed himself in a culture initially alien but ultimately with more depth and based on reality than his own. The book tells the story of his unwillingness to stay uninvolved in assisting others who are in need. Book Review: Awesome book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was recommended this book while volunteering in Ghana (West Africa). It is truly the most inspiring book I have read so far. Greg Mortenson is simply a hero. I know what I am getting my family and friends for Christmas this year...Three Cups of Tea! Book Review: Can't stop thinking about this book
Summary: 5 Stars
All this and the Obama election, in one week! Suddenly it's possible to feel more hopeful about the USA and the world in general. As so many others have said, this is an utterly inspiring and humbling book and restores faith in human nature and the gift of human friendship. It also makes utterly clear - if it was not abundantly clear already - the utterly bankrupt and corrupt nature of the notion of US 'security' as any priority for running the world.
As well as the enormous respect one feels for Greg Mortenson, I 'd like to pay tribute to David Oliver Relin who wrote the book. It's a very compelling read, brilliantly conveyed and with loving attention to detail.I hope it continues to sell in shedloads, and I shall certainly be buying multiple copies to give away.
