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

4.5

adventurous hopeful informative medium-paced

---

it was really interesting to learn about zamperini’s journey from olympian to castaway to captive. it was emotionally moving but didn’t feel like the author was trying to manipulate me into feeling a certain way-the story spoke for itself. it was a little slow in the first half and picked up once they were out at sea. i liked the interview in the back, it was a nice way to wrap up the book and put everything in perspective.
