A review by beccakatie
Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson
3.0
I did enjoy this book - I thought it was well written and the aim of education, especially female education is a very important discussion that certainly deserves attention.
However, after finishing it I read some reviews on here that led me to do some basic research on the controversy surrounding Mortenson’s claims and finances, and that has definitely affected my views of the book.
I haven’t done a lot of research into this, and therefore feel like I can’t be too critical without any substantial knowledge. Therefore I’ve tried to rate this book based on the quality of the writing, which is probably mostly down to co-author Mike Bryan and the narrative itself, rather than the ability to substantiate Mortenson’s claims.
