I bought the book in a periplus bandung discount a couple of months ago not knowing who Louis Zamperini was..just that Ms. Hillenbrand wouldn't dissapoint..well,the book is something well crafted..written with passion..with courage..with heart..and i'm so lucky to know the story of Mr. Zamperini..his courage and resilience was something young people nowadays should ask what they've sacrificed in life and how people are whinning about every little thing ..and Mr. Zamperini was lucky to have Ms. Hillenbrand to write the tale..with 528 pages or something..this one is a fast read..
