My group will be reading "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption," by Laura Hillenbrand. I thought I hadn't heard of this story until I looked it up. I have this strange obsession with watching movie trailers and I check IMBD.com ever so often to see what new movies are coming out. I had completely forgotten about "Unbroken," the trailer I had watched a few weeks ago that seemed like something I wanted to watch. I love action and war movies, especially when they focus on character development. The plot drew me to this film and I looked forward to its up coming release. Now, I will be reading the book before watching the movie, which as an English major, is an unspoken rule that must be followed. You can not see the movie first!
This novel sounds very interesting and I am looking forward to reading a work of non fiction. I have yet to read a non fiction war story, since most of the war or historical novels I pick up are fiction. However, it is always good to read genres you are not use to, so I am glad we will be doing having a book club for this class.
Here is the trailer, in case anyone is interested!
