I love this book. I love the meaning behind this book and I love everything about the organization that Greg Mortensen started. I finished this book about a year ago and I have been so hesitant to write a review about this book because I was fearful that my complete devotion to Greg Mortensen and the Central Asia Institute might come off as disingenuous.

But, I review everything else, so why not give it a go. I kept seeing this book in Borders on the must-read shelf and never wanted to buy it, so of course I waited forever to get it on paperbackswap.com.

This is the story of Greg Mortensen - the mountain climber turned philanthropist. Greg got lost in the Hindu Kush and was taken in by the people of a small village. While there he made a promise that he would return and build a school for the village children. It took him years to build the first school, but he did it and that school turned into dozens all over the mountainous region of Pakistan.
