This is a true story about how a mountain climber having lost his way, is rescued by the people from an obscure and isolated village high in the mountains of Pakistan.  As Greg Mortenson was nursed back to health, the village chief showed him where the children had their school lessons.  It consisted of a bare plot of dirt where they scratched their lessons into the dry soil.  Greg was so moved that he promised he would build them a proper school.  Upon returning to his home …

 This book really and truly was heart-wrenching. I cannot imagine the kind of love Mortenson had for the people in Pakistan. This book really makes a person stand back and look at what they have done with their own life. This is a good book for anyone high school age and older. It teaches a great lesson in humanity. Three Cups of Tea is not a hard read, but a good one.

Reading this made me feel frustrated and tied in knots because of all the struggles he went through to finally reach his goal.

Inspiring. I heard Greg Mortenson speak at BYU last year and he is an incredible person.

This should be mandatory reading of every high school student. You want to understand this poorly understood part of the world? Here is a good start.

This story is true, and amazing. If you love to read real life stories. Pick this book up. Three cups of tea is phenomenal. It is one of those stories that makes you want to do something and help the world. The education is Pakistan and Afghanistan is dwindling, and this man is fighting for their rights. At a time where women are treated so harshly in the middle east, the author's actions are much amended. Time has come where Americans should stand up and fight for what is right.

Not the greatest writing, but what a story!!! This guy lives in Bozeman, MT where I went to college and his life story will inspire the hardest heart to do SOMETHING positive for others in need. This guy is someone I truly admire. Bono has nothing on him.

Greg Mortensen is speaking in Santa Barbara on May 4, 2010. Three Cups of Tea is a great story.

I'm loving this book so far... only about half through but it is a nice story of a mountaineer turned humanitarian.

I love books that move me to tears.The killer scene in "Three Cups Of Tea?" Well, it could be the completion of Greg Mortenson's first bridge. That soaked a couple of tissues. Or maybe it was the presentation of the red velvet box to Greg, signaling the end of any beefs the locals had with Greg – this was just a guy trying to help out, after all.  I don't even know enough to say "I don't know" when it comes to the political landscape in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the surrounding geography. …

This book is mainly a biography of Greg Mortenson's life as written by David Oliver Relin. Much of the book takes place in the USA. For most of the book, only glimpses are given into what life is like in Pakistan and Afghanistan--and that's mainly of the lives of the adults.    Up until page 202, the book is narrowly focused on events from Greg's point of view and is written in a "as it happened" style. This section describes his climb on K2 in Pakistan and how he lost his way …
