Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin - Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Review

Three cups of tea was the most boring book i ever read! it took me over a month to read it. usually i'm a wuick reader. i just couldn't get interested in a story about a man who builds school for poor children in iraq, iran, and pakistan. i'm glad that i got the book for free off of zoompanel.com (a survey site) instead of wasting almost 15 dollars on buying it from the store. the book is about greg mortenson who used to be a mountain climber. his sister died and he wanted to place a remembrance of her (a necklace) at the top of the mountain. he never accomplshed that. instead greg decided to build schools for poverty sticten childre, it was hard for him to raise money for the cause but through miracles somehow he managed. the citizens of the towns where he built the schools were willing to help build them so that they would know the children could get an education and have better futures than their elders. whild greg was building schools wars were going on and he was in a  lot of danger. yet he risked hia life so that kids could go to school. some towns and villages were jealous that greg chose them instead of others. they didn't understand that he was trying to help everyone he could. greg was starting a family and in order to build schools he had to travel a lot. the tickets were expensive and he rarely got to see his children grow up. i wouldn't reccomend reading the book unless you have too. it's a real snooze fest.
