Unbroken

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is quite possibly the most astounding and fantastically convicting book I have ever read. I beautiful portrayal of a war that infected not just a few years of soldiers' lives, but entire lifetimes. Laura Hilldebrand's ability to plant the reader in the middle of the action, I believe, is unparalleled. Amidst the pages I was brought to tears, disgusted, despondent, convicted and surprised with joy. I have been changed by this book.

Confessions of a Shop-a-what?

My'>My review rating: 2 of 5 stars
I know this is a HUGE best seller, but I just was not a huge fan of the book. I'm not a compulsive shopper, I didn't know half the labels she mentioned, and she was basically ridiculous through 2/3 of the book. Then all of the sudden at the end, her whole life is changed around and after one confusing lunch and a lingering 'business' dinner, she gets to hop in the sack with the wealthy man and everything is perfect? PuHLeeZ. Maybe Manhattan will be better.
