## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book received in perfect condition (though sold as used)
*by V***E on February 27, 2025*

This was sold as a used book but I don't think it was ever opened. My thanks to the seller! As for content, I'm half way through and absolutely love it. I've learned more than I knew there was to learn about the coffee industry, as well as about the political situation in Yemen and nearby coffee producing countries. The writing really grabs me making it hard to put down. Some parts read like a thriller. Thanks to the author and man the book is about, both admirable!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid cup overall despite the weaker finish
*by D***J on June 22, 2019*

There is a lot to like about The Monk of Mokha, Eggers’ book about a Yemeni American sharing his ancestors’ precious coffee with the world. The story is more than enough to prove to any Don Quixote out there that adventure still exists even in the 21st century. It’s also a pleasant introduction to the world of specialty coffee - a treat even for a non-drinker such as myself - and an ode to the benefits of direct / fair trade.We’re rooting for Mokhtar and his dreams as soon as we learn of the hustling young man, living (as all children of immigrants do) in between San Francisco and Yemen. Herein lies my particular gripe with the book though: Eggers does an excellent job painting a nuanced portrait of Mokhtar and his world in the first chapters - with depth, color and especially emotion. By contrast, the last third of the book, while thrilling given the (oftentimes life or death) situations our protagonist encounters, feels somewhat too fast paced / rushed for us to really savor it.Is it perhaps because Eggers could easily visit the landmarks that dot Mokhtar’s California life, but wasn’t able to do the same for his Yemeni life (for understandable security reasons)? That’s my best guess as to why this latter third isn’t as satisfying. Either way, I’m happy enough with the flavor of my first sips to recommend the whole cup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING STORY
*by T***N on March 25, 2024*

What a great story! I picked up this book, thinking it was similar to assignment Rosti book I just finished reading, which was more of a fable. I would still light it to learn that this was a true story.Having spent time in the Middle East, I know something of its gloried past. I loved learning more about Yemen. I had no idea the Yemini were the first to brew coffee. I’m so glad that there is someone making it worthwhile for the farmers to grow coffee again rather than qat. This is the type of tale that helps you understand why America is a land of immigrants. Yes, they came for a better life, but they also came, hoping to make life better for those they left behind. Moktar truly is able to do thatDespite the fact that he seems worthless, once he found his dream, his passion, there was no stopping him from succeeding. I can’t wait to discuss the story with my book group. I’m eager to hear their insights into the tale.
