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

3.0

Read this and listened to much of it on audio because my son was reading the YA version. While I completely respect the story and Louis Zamperini's journey, this definitely wasn't a page turner to me, and it took me a while to get through - felt like a slog through at times. I know this is a well revered book, and I can see why but I should have known it wasn't my style. I also felt they could have done a better job explaining that the U.S. wasn't innocent either. I get that it wasn't the focus of Louis' story but since my son was reading this, it concerned me that the book was very one-sided.
