Unbroken

A good book which, from the midpoint on, was pretty much impossible to put down.  And my sense of humor loves that Hillenbrand found a quote from someone comparing Louie to Seabiscuit, as underdog racers.

The ending was a bit drawn out... but then again, life's never neat and tidy.  Having things a bit drawn out and occasionally unsatisfying is the price paid for tying up lose ends in a work on nonfiction - something Hillenbrand does do surprisingly well.  She is thorough.

Interestingly, the next book I checked out after this one was The Hunger Games, which could quite easily have used the title Unbroken.   Certainly there are similar themes.  I'll post that review later.
