Just finished this gem and highly recommend it! I would do it an injustice to try to summarize it and it's better if you experience it from scratch. I breezed through it and found that it actually surpassed Hillenbrand's first book, Seabiscuit, another that's on my all-time top 10 list.
Unbroken is the story of Louie Zamperini, an Olympic runner and WWII POW, but it's a story about a lot more than that. Hillenbrand's superb writing and storytelling will carry you through one of the most incredible lives I've ever learned about.
If it's not too late to put in a call to Santa, make this a Yuletide gift to yourself.
And have a happy, safe holiday, and a healthy new year!

Allen Just yesterday I read the very positive review of this book in TIME. Sounds like a natural for a movie!

I'd be very surprised if she doesn't get a movie deal, and pretty soon, too. They did a good job with her first book, "Seabiscuit," and I think this could become a great film.
