Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.75

Really good story, I loved the book. But with many books recounting true events there was a lot fluff. Although I felt it made the book more realistic it did take up an incredible amount of time to read.
Loved it as a book to read passively, but isn’t the kind I’d have read for an assignment in class.
