Unbroken is a novel based on a true story. Louis Zamperini is the main character, an olympic runner who survives a plane crash in World War II.
This novel is filled with pages upon pages of information on planes used in the military at that time. Every chapter is a new life and death moment that this man has gone through. You can learn lessons from everything that he does in his life, even if it is just him practicing running.
But, for all the good things in this book, I was just not able to "get into it". Maybe it was the genre; biographies have never appealed to me as much as any other book. Maybe it was the fact that the author went on and on about planes; a subject that can get boring after a whole chapter explaining what functions it all has. Or maybe it was the fact that it took too long to get to the adventure or climax of the story. Whatever it was, I was not able to finish the book.
I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not a history buff or does not like biographies.
