2008 Adult Summer Reading Program Staff Reviews - Three Cups of Tea


TITLE: Three Cups of Tea

AUTHOR: Mortenson, Greg

CALL NO.: BIO MOR (Book) or CD BIO MOR (Audio Book)

RECOMMENDED: Yes


Well written and interesting story. I think the U.S. military should be using our tax dollars to build schools rather than bombing Afganistan to promote peace. I agree with that. However, I feel there is another story not told. The story of Greg's wife and children in the states living without him. Why are the chldren in Pakistan more important to Greg than spending time with his own children? Maybe is just hit a sore spot with me. My other issue is that public schools in the U.S. are in such a sorry state. Why is Greg not concerned with his own country? There are schools in the states that need pencils just as badly as schools in Afganistan. Just my humble opinion.
