Review title: I Threw it Across the Room After 150 Pages
Product review: My wife and I are avid book sluts. We read a lot - fiction, history, non-fiction, whatever. We are both interested in the mideast as well, trying to understand the culture and history, and also looking for ways that America and Americans can somehow "do the right thing." That is, help people lead better lives and not trip over our own cultural blinders.The book tells an interesting story of the the efforts of Gregg Mortenson to impact elementary education in the high mountain regions of Pakistan. It is an inspiring story, told poorly. It is co-authored and unclear how much Mortenson contributed to the text - I suspect he spent a lot of time talking into a recorder - and his collaborator is on his own trip. The result is an incredibly awful book conveying a story that more Americans should know. Too bad. I suggested to my wife to skim it and recycle it back to the used books store.
