elisabethd8a 's review for:
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
adventurous
emotional
hopeful
informative
slow-paced
This inspirational biography takes the reader through the full spectrum of emotions from humor to hope to tragedy.
The basic message was compelling and well told, however, the author didn't limit herself to one man's biography, so the book is longer than it has to be while it diverts to fill in the stories of family and friends. In fact, there are probably three chapters scattered here and there just giving information about the war, in general.
The last portion of the book was so dark that I wouldn't have finished if I hadn't commit so much time already, but the darkness made the light at the end shine brighter.
