Review title: Great message
Product review: I will admit that this book seems to be poorly written but the message is good. I chose to read it because I am trying to learn about Afghanistan and ultimately, our (the United States of America's) war on terror. I learned a lot about daily life and struggles in Pakistan and Afghanistan both pre and post-9/11. I also learned about the torment the Taliban puts civilians in those countries through. I was of the mindset like the bumper sticker quoted in the book said, "Nuke 'em all - let Allah sort them out" before reading this book. Now I understand that the civilians there had little or nothing to do with 9/11 and other terrorist attacks.Relin's descriptions are flowery and drawn out so the reader must get beyond them. There was also a bit of negative attitude towards America from Mortenson and Relin.I am only rating this book 5 stars because I think everyone should read it for the educational value.
