This is probably one of the best memoirs I have ever read. Part of that has to do with how honest the author is throughout. Little Princes tells the story of the authors creation of Next Generation Nepal, a nonprofit organization that helps reunite the children of Nepal with their families after th...
Little Princes was interesting and entertaining and I enjoyed reading it. Yet it didn't grab me on a deeper level than that. As a narrator, Conor Grennan is funny and self-deprecating. I would be sad to hear that the cause that he's espousing is hinky in any way, although after recent events in the ...
One of the better exemplars of the callow-youth-becomes-activist genre. Don't be put off by Grennan's initial pages, where, though I think he intends to present himself as brutally honest, he instead comes off as a guy who is ill-prepared and not very funny.

This was an amazing story of one man's quest to reunite children with their families in the war torn country of Nepal. It was uplifting, tragic, enlightening, and happy...all rolled in to one book. I can't say enough good things about this man's work or this book. If you haven't read it yet, don'...

He hadn’t known what to expect, and he certainly hadn’t expected to be as aff...
It was nice reading this after Half the Sky because it just goes to show that with these problems out there that one person, just one, can make all the difference just by chance. Conor Grennan, you are amazing.
Noble work, noble goals, but the writing is just too simplistic and the focus too narrow for me.
Because of the current unrest in Egypt, we can understand the issues of this book even more clearly. The uprising in Egypt and the demand for the unseating of a dictatorial leader, was peaceful, but the civil war in Nepal was not, although it did eventually unseat their king and allowed the formatio...
Another story about a guy who goes off to save someone far away in the world. The work of the Nepalese to address their own issues is apparently rather slighted in favor of the brave American hero.
Updated 6/20/13 - see links at bottomWhen late-twenty-something Conor Grennan felt guilty about spending an entire year travelling the world, he decided to dedicate three months of this time to volunteering at a Kathmandu orphanage named “Little Princes.” His experience would be a life altering one ...
