I enjoyed listening to this book, but I'm thinking about reading it with my eyeballs as well. The pronunciation of names and places was helpful, but I kept wondering what the spelling of the words is, and a reference map would have been helpful.
However, what Mortenson has been doing for 15 years is astounding. Why is the U.S. Government's policy more concerned with bombs instead of building schools?
As for the book itself, pretty well-written until the end when it pretty much just...stops. There were plenty of other "endings" that were better all the way through that were more sensibly places to stop. I suppose, though, since he's still at it, there really can't be a proper ending.
Amazing story; if you haven't read it, I would definitely do so.
