Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Audiobook

" great real story of brave man who made his mission of life to fight terror by eduaction. "

" I would of given it a 4 because It moved and inspired me much. Then I found out that some of what he had said I'd embellished. "

" I think this is a good lesson, one that everyone needs to hear. I wasn't a huge fan of the writing and sometimes I got lost in the names of people and places. But I do think it's a book well worth reading. "

" Dr Greg has a good message with this book, although this is not the best written book I've read. I wish Dr. Greg luck. "

" Really interesting true story about one man's efforts to change life in Pakistan, one school at a time. Story is very good, but there are many details and referring to the included maps takes a lot of time. I learned a lot! "

" Premise was good, but was a difficult book for me to get into. Very disheartened when found out later majority wasn't true. "

" Mortenson is a fraud. He broke our hearts. "

" Good subject. Hard to stay with the writer. "

" Very engaging read, the question of whether the story holds up to scrutiny doesn't take away from it being a good read. "

" An interesting insight into the relationship between how to educate and fight terroism at the same time. "

" Great cause and story but mostly seemed to me to be a solicitation for donations. "

" I found it to be a very compelling story, but was unimpressed by the writing. I would love to see a sceptical but even-handed journalistic take on Mortenson's work. Everything I've seen paints him as either an angel or a devil, and I don't believe either depiction. "

" Loved this book, but like all well written save the world books I feel like a lazy punk afterwards. Very inspiring read!! "

" The book told a wonderful story. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that much of the "truth" in this book was fabricated. "

" Hated this book. Felt the author to be insincere and self-righteous. Couldn't even finish. To later hear he misappropriated funds made it all make sense. "

" A beautiful book, an eye-opener, a true story of hope, love, trust, generosity, compassion, and humanity in a poor, war-torn, misunderstood corner of the earth. Highly recommended. "

" I was quite enjoying this read until, about half way through the book, the author was exposed for using funds donated to the cause for his personal use. It also did not help to hear that everything in the book was not as he stated. "

" I am saddened that some people have challenged the truth to this book, but - even though some anecdotes may be embellished - the overall story is true. My biggest complaint is that it needed about 50 pages cut - it gets repetitive. "

" I wanted to love, really, I did. "

" This was a very well written book about a man with a plan. He wanted to build schools for children in need. Nothing would stop this man from fulfilling this goal. Even his wife leaving him, needing a bridge, financial issues wouldn't stop him. "

" Interesting read, learned a lot from it although found it hard going in parts. "

" When I first bought this book, I loved it. As a teacher it was interesting to read about this man who builds schools for the less fortunate. However; I was disappointed to learn that the story is ficton and Mortenson made it up. "

" well this whole book turned out to be a lie "

" Greg Mortensen, you are my hero. "

" I only read about 1/3 of this book, found it to be a difficult read and slow. "

" Great story, not so great writing. Good education. "

" one of my all time favorite books! Read this probably back in 2010. "

" Loved this book; disappointed that there is controversy surrounding the profits and story of Greg Mortenson's mission. "

" Had so much potential. The beginning was so inspiring. The last half of the book was dragging. "

" Great ghost-writer. Wonderful description. Well-defined characterization. Wonderful humanitarian cause. "

" ????? ?????????? ???????, ???????? ??-??????? ????????? ?? "???????", ????????????? ???? "????????". ???????????! "

" We read this book for our book club and I so enjoyed it. Wonderful, inspiring tale of how one person can make a difference. I sure hate to think that recent allegations are true. "

" One person can make a difference. This is an inspiring story that I hope we can all learn from. The book needed quite a bit more editing, but don't let that get in your way of seeing the benefit of learning the power of reaching out to your fellow man. "

" ...after watching the segment on 60 minutes about Greg Mortenson and "Three Cups of Tea", I had zero motivation to finish this novel. I took it off my nightstand and it's back on the bookshelf. "

" It held my interest most of the time, but I thought it was overrated. Learning now that the author may have falsified some of the things in the book. "

" GReat at the time but second thoughts with recent news reports. "

" Great example of the power of education, especially for girls. "

" Really good and inspiring, a little long winded though. Definitely a good read though. The fact that it is a true story (or based on one) makes it all the more awesome! "

" I found this book so interesting that I finished the book in 2 weeks time "

" Eh - the concept is good but what I perceived to be an endless tone of patting himself on the back turned me off so I turned off the book. "

" Nice to know not all Americans are ugly. "
