Unbroken

What an incredibly well-told piece of history by Laura Hillenbrand about world-class runner and World War II POW survivor Louis Zamperini! This was a difficult book to read and just as difficult to put down. Zamperini's plane crash in the ocean, weeks lost at sea, and years as a Japanese POW all show the remarkable will to not only survive, but to live through the pain and suffering and degradation of the human spirit he had to endure.

Hillenbrand is an excellent writer and I am determined now to read her other best-selling novel, “Seabiscuit” as soon as I can.
