Helpful Score: 2

Yawn! This was probably a great story to tell in a bar, but there's just not enough material to draw it out into a full book. I got very tired of reading (endlessly) about how the scenery is indescribable.

Just too much detail, not enough story, I started reading just the first and last paragraphs of each chapter and was following along pretty well. Then I just gave up out of pure boredom.

I think Greg Mortenson is an inspiring guy, but I have a feeling a lot of the rambling nature of this book is due the way he tells the story verbally - and it just doesn't translate onto paper.
