Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand- 10/23/14

I am currently at the end of part one of this book. It is very captivating so far. I like how the author goes into detailed description of Louie Zamperini's childhood because it creates a better understanding of the book. So far, Louie has discovered his talent for running and qualified for the 1636 Olympics in Germany. It is also interesting that the writer describes every second of Louie's races like she was there in person. When Louie arrives in Germany, Hillenbrand mentions German's attitude towards Hitler. I think she does this to foreshadow Louie's role in World War II. Overall, the book is great and I can't wait to keep reading.
