A truly great and entertaining read!  |
I enjoyed Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit, i didn't enjoy this book at all.
Its sad the biography of such a person as Zamperini is botched by endless, pointless and repetitive descriptions. It takes a long time for the book to finally take off. And then it just fluttered.
I find it hard to believe that a 95 year-old man can have that much of a detailed memory about things that happened 60 plus years ago. There's a excruciating day by day recalling of when he was stranded in the lifeboat.
She could have cut at least 100 pages out of this book and still retain the importance of this man's experience.
