February 2012 Read of the Month Update
I am still working on my February 2012 Read of the Month. As of this morning I have completed 300 pages out of 474 of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken. I love the book, but I do not think I will be able to finish by the end of the month. February has just been a busy month at home and work. Believe me my slow pace is not because I am not enjoying the book.
This tale of Louis Zamperini's survival after being shot down during World War II has been amazing. I have read some complaints about the long, drawn out introduction (pre-plane crash chapters). I would agree if it were not for my own track and field background. Most of the early chapters present background information of Zamperini (including his Olympic track and field career). I enjoyed most of the early chapters because of my track and field background. I will agree that the build-up to the crash adds quite a bit of length to the book. I hope to have a complete review put together by next weekend.
