I'm actually reading/read "However Tall the Mountain" which is the hardback version of this.



Before reading, but after I put it on my "to-read" list, I saw some mixed reviews on this. I can understand where the reviewers comment on the "poor grammar" but I think what they see as "poor grammar" is actually the way that the people in the book actually talk. It's a very interesting book that I think gives a different perspective about the Afghan culture than I am used to hearing. It also hits home with me because a majority of the girls are from Kabul and if I am/were to deploy with the Corps of Engineers, that is where I would be going and several of my friends are there right now. I've seen pictures of some of the places that are mentioned in the book, so the story comes through even clearer for me than I think it would for some.
