Laura Hillenbrand was able to recreate Louie's entire life in this book. She did an amazing job. I cried and I laughed throughout the book. Even in times when I probably would have gone mad and wanted to die Louie was able to forge ahead and he always came out on top. I would read parts of this book to my husband, who generally can't be bothered with what I am reading, and he was interested and ask questions to find out more. This book was definitely a revelation of the human spirit.
