Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal Audiobook

" Highly recommended for the adoption reading challenge, though as with several other books I'm maybe stretching the "adoption" definition a bit. This is one (straight, white, American) man's story of how he got involved with an orphanage in Nepal and then ended up starting a foundation to help reunify the kids in that orphanage and other trafficked Nepalese children with their families. "

" LOVED everything about this book! HIGHLY recommend. I have been to Kathmandu and trekked the Annapurna circuit, so the Nepali people have a special place in my heart. I LOVED reading about the amazing work Conor and his colleagues did for the Nepali children. We need MORE people like him in this world. Making a real difference. What a wonderful book! I bought it on a whim for my birthday, and I am so glad I did! "

" Another book that introduces us to a country rarely in the news, whose inner turmoils the news rarely covers with children whose plights we really get to know. "

" Excellent. Seldom does a nonfiction book become so engrossing that I can't put it down. This one did. I loved how real and not preachy or perfect Connor is. I see my world differently. Thanks Connor Grennan for sharing your story and the children's. "

" After volunteering twice at the Little Princes orphange, he starts a non-profit to find 7 missing children. "

" The author has a very friendly style, and does a great job describing his adventures (and the deep love he developed) working with "orphans" (who weren't really orphans at all, it turned out) in rural Nepal. It was a bit like Three Cups of Tea, minus the hagiography. "

" I picked up this book because I thought I was going to learn about children of Nepal, but all the author could talk about was himself, so now I know all about Conor Grennan and not much about the children ! Is that a good read? I'd say no. "

" Loved it. So it better be true..... "

" This is a touching story of the lost children of Napal taken and used by child trafficers and the rescue of some of them. "

" This easily could have gone the way of "eat, pray, love" (barf) but he keeps his ego in check and sticks to the facts. Amazing story of reunion between trafficked Nepali children and their families. "

" Inspiring - Worth participating in Grennan's adventure and life's work. "

" The writing style (or maybe the author himself) wasn't my favorite, but his story and his work in Nepal are inspiring and make this book well worth the read! "

" I loved this book. at the beginning I thought the guy was an ass bit it made me laugh! the guy had no idea what he was getting into. then I found it such a heartwarming story. I cried everytime they found a child. excellent book!! "

" A beautifully moving story, it really touched my heart. Favorite book I've read this summer! "

" I thought this was a fascinating book and project. Sort of another Greg Mortensen (3 Cups of Tea) book but different and easier to read. "

" This was an amazing book, talking about the story of a man who has worked with Children in Nepal helping kids who have been trafficked. I really enjoyed reading this book and this is really inspiring. One of the most inspiring and great books I have read. amazing read and so interesting. "

" I felt like I was sitting next to my best friend at a bar while he was telling me his stories about saving the world. Very funny and inspiring. "

" Near story about how one man volunteered at an orphanage and it changed his life! A true recollection of his journey. Very heartwarming! "

" A truly beautiful book and incredibly inspiring. "

" This is the best book I've read in my entire life. The first book that actually made me tear up once I had finished it because I felt like I was part of the story, and it was over for me too. Short and simple: don't believe me, pick this up for yourself and see. You won't regret it. "

" An interesting story but the author had some issues. His story seemed more like one told by someone who was not very mature. "

" A young American finds himself in the middle of a child-trafficking scheme in Nepal. If you liked Three Cups of Tea, you'll love this. "

" I cannot recommend this book more highly!! "

" Excellent inspirational story! Well written and engaging- I highly recommend this book "

" Inspiring & educational read about a man who devoted himself to reuniting Nepalese orphans with their parents. "

" Since I work with many Nepali students at the university this book had great interest to me. It's a wonderful read. I hope others will read it to become aware of the difficulties in Nepal, similar to the plight of Afghan and Pakistan parents. Heartbreaking and Heartwarming at the same time. "

" A good story of a man who opens an orphanage in Nepal. Did a good job of explaining what happened during the Maoist Revolt. However, he talks way too much about his girlfriend/wife and the book is a little self indulgent. "

" Absolutely loved this book, one of my favorites! "

" If you liked Three Cups of Tea, you'll love Little Princes. "

" Heartwarming, plus I learned more about Nepal than I ever thought I would. A bit predictably happy, but I suppose that's excusable. "

" Really enjoyed reading about Conor's work with the orphans of Nepal. The resilience of these orphans and the dedication of Conor to help them was inspiring. A book worth recommending. "

" Wonderful book! A reality check on our prosperity in this country and the idea that really we have NOTHING to complain about!! Really wish I was heading to Nepal sometime soon!! Highly recommend this book! "

" It shows that we can change the world in small steps.I applause the commitment made to the children of Nepal "

" This was the "Fairfax Reads" 2011 selection by the Fairfax County Public Library for the adult summer reading list. So I thought it would be pretty good, and it was. "

" Great book of a young man who goes above and beyond to save children in Nepal. It is well written and enjoyable as well as touching in many parts. "
