One thing I've learned, while listening to (one and a half) audio books, is that I am a fast and impatient reader. I did listen to it while cooking, painting, driving and resting. But this story was not only long, it was gruesome and depressing most of the way. I read it because it's on our Book Club list. Its full title is:
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. It was written by Laura Hillenbrand and narrated by Edward Herrmann. The main character does survive and does find redemption, and lives into his 90s, apparently with a great deal of fame although I never had heard of him, but that was not enough to offset all the horror he went through as a Japanese POW. Not for the delicate!
