Unbroken is not just a book, but it is also a movie. I have seen the movie adaptation and from what I read and from what I have seen I can tell you that the movie is so much better.

I don't usually agree with this fact, but seeing everything occur in front of you; seeing the action, the fear in peoples eyes, the situations that he was put in; all of it was so much more clear in the movie then when I was reading the book.

I felt more for him and for his story when I saw what he was going through, then when I was reading the words off of the page. There was more emotion put into the movie than what was put into the book.

This was probably because of the fact that the book was not written by the person who actually went through the events stated. If Louis would have written his own story, maybe the book would be more compelling to me, but from where I stand, the movie was the better of the two.
