I saw the movie, Unbroken http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1809398/ so I knew some of what to expect from the book Unbroken, A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption http://laurahillenbrandbooks.com/. Or so I thought. And, I was right about the basic story. But this book was so much more, I am reeling, I am amazed. I do not generally find biographies and non-fiction to be "page turners" but even though I knew the bottom line outcomes, I found myself wanting to continue on to the next piece, the next segment, the next story.
Louie Zamperini was an amazing man. And, it takes an amazing author to tell his story. Thank you to Mr. Zamperini, now deceased, for participating in the telling of this story. And thank you to Ms. Hillenbrand for her marvelous writing!
