I love the message, and Greg Mortenson is doing amazing work. I found the book to be poorly written, and that kept me from getting really excited about his story. We now have the "for young readers" version and the *Listen to the Wind* picture book, which seem more smoothly written.<BR/><BR/>Dawn<BR/><A HREF="http://www.sheistoofondofbooks.com" REL="nofollow">She is Too Fond of Books</A>Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169780697300333304.post-51308124246010044782009-03-21T14:44:00.000-06:002009-03-21T14:44:00.000-06:00I have a rather deep hatred of The Lovely Bones.
