Interesting, it never came to my mind that it would be hard to remember so many details of what Louie had been through. According to my own experience, when you live through dramatic experience, with some time for silence in the midst of it, you can store this inner information for decades, and what I went through was far from this tough.<br />here is my review: http://wordsandpeace.com/2010/12/14/unbroken/<br />I have recommended it numerous timesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-71576968030264911422012-10-02T10:05:35.239-05:002012-10-02T10:05:35.239-05:00Wonderful review of a wonderful book.Wonderful review of a wonderful book.The Relentless Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059240496186812005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-6114129307331247662012-10-02T07:00:17.885-05:002012-10-02T07:00:17.885-05:00This is simply a good book regardless of genre.

It's amazing that he was able to recall as much as he did, but I found my dad was the same way.

It was an amazing story of survival and of reclaiming a life, and it's one that I won't forget.
