Three Cups of Tea

Have you ever sat through a movie because so many people said its good and you thought the best is coming yet? That's exactly how I felt about this book. 1200 people on Amazon cannot give wrong reviews. I trust them. So I kept pushing myself to read this book despite the fact that skipped a few paragraphs here and there. Then I reached page 333. Nothing yet! Mr Mortenson's work is absolutely laudable. But the book, awful! painful to read!

The whole book is in third person. A first person report would have made it more personal and a pleasure to read. Too many adjectives to describe something simple and finally, too much of deviation from the whole point. It could have easily been several pages shorter. Maybe the young reader version is better. Try that one.
