Greg Mortenson's story is very fascinating, and I learned a LOT about Muslim culture in Pakistan and Afghanistan. But the book could have used a couple more edits to remove material that simply wasn't relevant. The opening chapters in particular aren't very well written. I suggest skimming through the book until you reach his first large-sum donation and heads to Pakistan to start building his first school. If you're not interested by then, you probably won't be.
