  I've learnt so much from this book its unbelievable....i've already got 5 people lined up asking for my copy and i've just finished!
  I really admire Greg as he went into an area like Pakistan with the right mind-set and the right intentions. I loved the fact that he gave an honest opinion about what he saw without being judemental at all. I myself come from Attock which is a northern city close to Peshawar in Pakistan. Too often the media only ever depicts the negative aspects of the Muslim religion and culture. furthermore, too often people judge Islam and Muslims by the 'bad apples'. Please read this book it will enlighten you.

  This is an inspiring book about an amazing man, and a revealing portrait of the frontier regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. We can learn much about Islam here - Greg Mortenson encounters both the dangers of extremism and the Saudi-financed madrassas, but also the goodness and hunger for education found among so many Muslims who welcomed him as their friend. This is not an openly political book, but does act as a powerful reminder of the blindness of American policy in the region, of missed opportunities and broken promises, and that extremism is best defeated by education and development not by often indisciminate bombing. Above all, one man giving selfless service can make a difference ! A book to recommend without reservation. It deserves the widest possible readership.

  What a fantastic book! Its got all the markings of an excellent novel - gun fights, love story, opium traffickers, mountain climbing tragedies; it's nerve wracking, engaging and inspiring. But this is no novel, it's REAL. Amazing. Greg Morenson - I salute you.

  This book is a must have. It's inspiring and fascinating - I was gripped within the first page. It opened my eyes to another side of the 'War on Terror' and I shall be purchasing copies for friends and family for them to be equally enlightened. I cannot recommend this book enough and urge you to buy it!

  The most wonderful book I've ever read. I would like to repeat Mrs. Scarrott's review. If you only read one book in your lifetime let it be this one. This book has really taught me what it means to be a humanitarian. There are so few people in the world like Greg Mortenson and I hope his story will inspire more to follow his lead. Please read this book and understand a little more about these inoffensive people who desperately need to be educated and supported.
