Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson

Without any doubt, the work that Mortenson and his organization are doing is incredible. I'm horrified by some of the conditions he describes in the lives of the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan. And I believe that education is truly a way to remedy the situation. The stories of the students and how their lives changed as a result of the schools being built were inspirational. But I confess I found the book too long and the details too tedious to enjoy. It was a hard read for me. - June
