This was a very hard book to put down. I prefer true stories and this book was actually difficult to keep convincing myself that it was true. But the factual references kept me in line with my frame of mind. I was fortunate to not know the ending and would recommend not watching the movie first or doing any research about the characters. It makes it that much more compelling to enjoy the book itself. But now that I read it I really want to see the film.

Unbroken is a powerful story that, at times, was difficult to read. There are parts of the book that need to be taken in smaller doses. It is an incredibly important story. I better understand the perspective of many WWII vets, especially those involved in the conflict in the Pacific, after reading this story. It is difficult to understand how anyone could survive what this story's main character survived. God's active presence in and influence over his life, even before he became a Christian, is the only explanation that makes sense. God can give us a different perspective. God can mediate the impact of our circumstances.

I sent this book to my grandson who is a PVT in the Army. I had read it last summer and felt that it was an inspiring true story with a nice thread of faith.
