Three Cups of Tea

This was a very interesting book, both entertaining and educational, but it has one major flaw. The writer is so enthusiastic about his topic that he wants to tell you everything, relevant or not, and his editor failed to correct this. It's not that the extra details are not interesting, even well-written in their own way, it's that they don't belong where they are. Occasionally, this would get the reader slightly lost as to who the relevant characters were and just what was going on. Some flashbacks are not clearly defined.
