Another GREAT book, and one I highly recommend reading the next time you're having a bad day. The author is a female too, if you can believe that! ;)

Just did a search on it. Yep, will hit the library to see if I can get it.

+1 for Unbroken! It is like three books in one. Each segment of Louis Zamperini’s life could be a book in itself. Good thing this is non-fiction. Were it a novel, no one would buy into it because the story is too fantastic to believe.

A great book! Bought two, gave one away and have yet to finish mine. The recipient said it was great and even lent it to another!

Ah! I forgot that one...GREAT book. What a trial...also, there is a book “The Raft: The Courageous Struggle of Three Naval Airmen against the Sea” which is along the same lines...
