May Book Club MeetingHost: Bev
Book: Unbroken, A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience,and Redemption, by Laura Hillenbrand
Response of Book Club Members: All members thought that this was one of the best books thatwe have read in 2011 though some members found the true story Louie Zamperini's survival in the South Pacific difficult because of the cruel and difficult experiences he had as a shot down bombardier who survived for over 40 days drifting in the ocean to only be taken by the Japanese to a POW camp where he was tortured almost every day.
The story has a happy ending. Louie survived, returned home, married, had children and grandchildren. Today he is a rollerskating grandpa in his eighties!
