I'm not really interested in the details about the planes, but I am intrigued by the survival aspect of the story.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-21162416472602523172013-09-25T13:52:11.326-04:002013-09-25T13:52:11.326-04:00I'm one of the ones who loved the book. I thin...I'm one of the ones who loved the book. I think everyone should read it if only because it really makes you appreciate what our veterans have been done for us. But I also agree with you that the ending was a bit rushed. Then again, all I really needed to know was that he was able to get on with a happy life, and to go into any more detail would have made the book even longer.<br /><a href="http://mytime2read.blogspot.com/2011/08/review-unbroken.html" rel="nofollow"> Here is my review, if you are interested.</a>Kim@Time2Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584489744366874728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-10485257283202325022013-09-19T18:26:00.475-04:002013-09-19T18:26:00.475-04:00I've had other friends have a similar reaction...I've had other friends have a similar reaction...no worries...we all read books differently.

UNBROKEN is...How could anyone not love this book?<br /><br />UNBROKEN is not dull. It’s a can’t-put-it-down book that will keep you up at night. <br /><br />Do yourself a favor: don’t read the book flap or other reviews until you’ve read the book yourself.<br /><br />I didn’t think this was a depressing book. I’ll admit, sometimes it was hard to read, and, if you’re like me, you may get so caught up in the story you’ll even get a headache at times. I wanted to keep reading because, even though bad kept happening, Louie kept overcoming.<br /><br />Hillenbrand continues the story after Louie’s military service, and we see his (and others who were with him) ability and inability to cope. We see lives forever changed, often disastrously.<br /><br />And we also see . . . . Well, I can’t continue without giving away what you should read and not anticipate because of something I said. But hint: I learned some unpleasant facts about Japanese civilians during World War II and after, even to present day.<br /><br />Although I read slowly, I read a lot. I usually find one, maybe two, books a year that are so wonderful I can’t speak highly enough of them. This is one of those books.<br />techeditorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713987832589573174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-84715716140510086612013-09-19T08:40:44.915-04:002013-09-19T08:40:44.915-04:00I absolutely loved this book.

But the entire story just captivated me, and even at times I teared up. The audio was excellent, and perhaps that helped me through the sections that were detailed, I don't know. It is just one of those books that makes you appreciate the true heroes and the strength of human spirit.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-84928534138309610082013-09-19T07:34:38.491-04:002013-09-19T07:34:38.491-04:00I have a feeling I'll like this one a lot.
