Water For Elephants:
Amazing story, tons of drama, and an extremely easy read. But I didn't like the ending. Not only was the ending a little too simple, but I felt like it was the ending of a different book - it just didn't belong.
Three Cups of Tea
Greg Mortenson is definitely my hero. With an unstable income and a dream, he manages to build school after school to educate girls in an area where his life is always in danger. This book definitely opened my eyes to the reality behind "helping others."
It's kind of a sad reality that although you want to help people, you will come to a point where you have reached your limit as to how many people you can help. And then you have to choose who to help. I don't know if I can or want to do that. But then again, helping some is better than helping none - right?
