Helpful Score: 1

I found this book a real struggle to finish. Don't get me wrong, the story of what Greg Mortenson has done is an incredible one, but the writing in this book isn't quite as impressive. I have found the same thing with this book as I have with just about every other book by mountain climbers and that sort (with the exception of Jon Krakauer): it's very evident that it wasn't written by a professional writer. In short, you could probably take away as much from a Wikipedia page as you would from the endless hours of bothering with this book.
