Unbroken
by Laura Hillenbrand
Published in 2010 (I finished it on February 23, 2011)

There are very few books that I've read this quickly (in about five days), and none that has moved me this much. If I were rich, I'd buy a copy for everyone I know. While I'm aware it may not move others as much as it did me, if it even moves people half as much, life will seem altered. There's really not much need for fiction when history is this impregnated with heroism, sadness, atrocity, salvation, humor, and truth. His story is miraculous and inspiring, illustrating the alarming atrocities of mankind and the awesome greatness as well.

This is definitely a story you'll tell others about. I know I am.

So many books … (you know the rest)
