I was browsing in an old bookshop when I noticed this book.Young Pakistani girls with books in their hands.I bought it and I read it in a single sitting.I found it very interesting because it was about Pakistan and places I knew.At first glance, the story was so uplifting and heartwarming.The book was full of good deeds and selfless humanitarianism.I had never heard of or read about Greg Mortensen.Pakistani media had certainly not mentioned him.But it seemed that he was quite a big deal in the U...
Having lived and worked in Pakistan for many years, and travelled to many of the places described, I enjoyed this book as a 'fun read.' I think it is very helpful for people who only have access to information about the country through mainstream media to see a side of the people, especially poor people in rural areas who are not very educated who many in the west assume to be fundamentalists, that more accurately reflects their culture: their hospitality, their concern for the future of their c...
JUST AN OPINION - NO BLURB - NO REVIEWWhen starting out this book I was unaware of the controversy fueled by a hungry press to bring down a humanitarian philanthropist in their usual dog-eats-dog modus operandi.

Three Cups Of Tea, Greg MortensonThree Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time is a controversial book by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin published by Penguin in 2007. The book's title was inspired by a saying Haji Ali shared with Mortenson: "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family..."In 1993, mountaineer Greg Mortenson att...
2011 F.A.B. Bookclub pick # I.❤️. F.A.B. While I praise the efforts of this man and all he’s done, I was shaking my head at many parts. Especially after he was married and had a child, to put himself in harms way was a bit crazy. But thank goodness he found the right people to help his journey pay off.
