(I know that I am super behind the times, but what else is new?!) It was amazing. It was well-written, extremely detailed, and goes into the nitty-gritty. It&#8217;s based on a true story of an Italian-American man during WWII. This man endures a plane crash, over 40 days on a raft in the Pacific Ocean with sharks circling, and then the horrors of a POW camp in Japan. (Trust me, this is not spoiling anything). Louis is strong mentally and physically, extremely smart and witty, and a true hero. Not to mention he was also an Olympic runner!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-287 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/zamperini-236x300.jpg\" alt=\"zamperini\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/zamperini-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/zamperini.jpg 786w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-SaAnlF1CMg0\/VP8NUl7OI4I\/AAAAAAAAAFw\/exG9yPQvA-Y\/s1600\/zamperini.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I listened to the first half on Audible during a road trip to Canada, and finished the rest on Kindle.<\/p>\n<p>This true story is incredible. I have no words for what Louis Zamperini went through. I know a movie by Angelina Jolie came out a couple years ago. Like most things, the book is a million times better than the movie. (Sorry Angelina). In the book, you understand Louis&#8217; state of mind much better and more in depth. He&#8217;s quite a funny character despite the unbearable experiences he went through. Did you know that he stole a Nazi flag from Hitler during the war and was nearly shot doing so?!
