Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
Listened to the audio version of this amazing book, narrated wonderfully and feelingly by Edward Herrmann (Grandfather Gilmore from the Gilmore Girls).
I love, LOVE Laura Hillenbrand. She's overcome such obstacle (chronic fatigue syndrome) to write amazingly readable and compelling books. If she re-interpreted the phone book I would buy it and could practically guarantee a 5 star review.
Louis Zamperini, the subject of this book, has been through so much as a WWII airman and Japanese POW that his story is practically unbelievable. His strength of spirit shines through the book and his resilience is astonishing. I wish that there had been a little bit more about his forgiveness of his captors and about his life after his turning point. However, it may have been that the personality that helped Louie through such hardship was able to more easily redirect his anger and hatred than I believe mine would have in similar circumstances.
