Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Learned of this book and really enjoyed the story line about Louie. Found the reading a little too commercial and over the top, almost like it is preparing for a fictional movie rather than telling an interesting story in a factual way. After reading, was disheartened so (although I like the author, just not this version of the story line) I decided to google Louie and realized he authored a previous book just a couple years ealier titled, Devil at My Heels. Devil at My Heels: A Heroic Olympian's Astonishing Story of Survival as a Japanese POW in World War II Check this book out if you're really interested in the story and want a more personal unsanitized version. I do a lot of reading and I'm not a fiction reader, and Unbroken read more like fiction. Devil at My Heals reads more like non-fiction in an interesting way as was told/written first hand. Most of my reading is non-fiction, and being an entrepreneur I like rags to riches, failure to success type stories, and overcoming obstacles and surviving. The Devil at My Heels book has all of that, and the fun times of socializing with the young ladies, etc...certainly seemed much more real-life. This version of the book is what should be made into a movie, in my perspsective. Sometimes real life is more interesting. If you want to read one book about Louie, I would recommend the Devil at My Heels book, if you want to read both, start with Devil at My Heels first and you may never need the second book.
