^Good writer. Read his last two, but haven’t got to this one yet.0

I finished this one last night. The horrors Louie Zamperini went through in this true story are almost unimaginable. There were times when reading this that I would finish a particularly gruesome section that left me feeling almost sick. The Japanese prison camps in WWII were beyond atrocious. The timing of this read for me was not good. There always has been horrible brutality among humans, but with the state of the world as it is now, I really didn't need more misanthropic inducing horrors. I wish I had read this one first AND THEN followed with Bono's hope filled Surrender. But at least I'm a little further educated, and Hillenbrand is an excellent writer.

F Me In The Brain said:Great book
It really is, for sure. The timing was off for me, that's all. I've read books by Charles Bowden that describe things that were even more horrific that what Hillenbrand describes. I knew they would be and went into reading them with a fair idea of what they were going to be about. Somehow I was thinking that Hillenbrand's book was going to be more along the lines of some of Hampton Sides work."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Just started Commanche Moon. (Part of the Lonesome Dove run)
I know I'm not getting too deep into things. Been reading a lot of historical fiction and them a horror book. Wanted to grab something lighter from the pile. (Even if it is a heavy physical book!)The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
