This book is very inspiring and well-written, with humor invoked throughout despite the serious topic at hand. It provides for plenty of good discussion. We highly recommend it!
This book has humor and heart. The author, Conor Grennan, inspires but doesn't preach. I would like to see this book on everyone's reading list. It is well worth the time and will stay with you for a long time. Our book club gives it 5 stars and wants Conor to come to our next meeting. (Please?!) We want to shake his hand.
The book has become our group's favorite pick. There is laughter, romance, adventure and hope all wrapped up in a short and sweet book about a difficult and painful subject. You will fall in love with these children.
An enjoyable easy read. Made you examine your own life as to what am I doing to make a change in the world. Everyone in our club enjoyed it.
Good book. A very heavy topic that ws not depressing, Dealt more on the good that can be done then on the bad that had happened.
I must admit that when this book was selected, I was less than enthusiastic. My opinion changed within the first few pages. The author writes in a style that is easy to read and, at times, to relate to personally. We were able to discuss this book on many levels--aspirations of volunteer work, correlations to volunteer work performed, the plight of children in poverty both here and abroad, etc. We all enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed reading about the culture of Nepal and different areas Of Nepal such as Humla. The tale of the lost children is interesting, sad and happy. It makes me appreciate where I live. I was compelled to read it until the end.
It is written in a style that you think someone is sitting in your living room telling you the story. I found the story to be totally inspiring. I loved the glimpses into the world of life in Nepal. My friends and I have recommended the book to everyone we know who likes to read.
