Gerald & Cris are pretty amazed by the trials and tribulations of Louie Zamperini in "Unbroken" by Lauren Hillenbrand. I didn't finish it. We had conversations about cruelty, survival, and the strength of the human spirit. The fact that Louie Zamperini came away from his experiences as a WWII POW truly unbroken is a tribute to his inner strength and incredible stamina. I doubt I'm doing it justice, as I haven't read it!
Next book is "I Am Number 4" by Pitticus Lore (the pseudonym for James Frey, author of "A Million Little Pieces," if you're an Oprah's Book Club fan...). It's our first young adult sci-fi book. The print version is 448 pages long -- we'll plan to read about half for next Tuesday's meeting.
See ya then! Happy reading :)
