I decided to read this book after hearing an interview on the radio between Greg Laurie and Louie Zimperini about his time lost at sea. It was so fascinating to me that I came in the house and downloaded the book and read it all in 3 days. I then got the audiobook for my 95 year old grandmother who couldn't stop listening and hung onto the story with much delight. I don't normally like war stories, but this book has sparked an interest in me. I've since opened up discussion about my great uncle that was a prisoner during WW2 also, and my uncle that fought in Vietnam. It's caused me to care more about people's history and what has truly been sacrificed for this country. All because of this book and the story within it.

I'm also excited to see the movie when it comes out.

This is a must read if you have the time because you won't be able to put it down.
