This is the story of Louie Zamperini, an olympic medalist who became a B24's bomber during World War II. When his plane crashes into the Pacific, his terrible saga begins until he became one of the thousands POWs captured by the Japanese.
While not a big fan of non-fiction books, I really admire the extensive research performed by Laura Hillenbrand who collected an impressive amount of material during a period of 7 years about Louie and his friends.
The books is a page-tuner since the author managed to give the right tone to the narrative. After reading this book, I must read her first book, Seabiscuit: An American Legend which movie Seabiscuit directed by Gary Ross (2003) was lovely.
I'm already looking forward to next book of this brilliant writer. Laura, keep going, please!!
