Review of 'Unbroken' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Very much enjoyed most of the book I found I was pretty well engaged throughout most of the book but once the war was over and I listened for several more hours about the aftermath - particularly the Billy Graham portions - I found my interest nearly non-existent. 
 
Truly what these men went through was harrowing and it would have been impossible for any of them to have even a glimmer of a peaceful recovery. 
 
The writing was good, as one would expect from this author, but there were many things that were repeated and, after a while, I felt like the book was overly long. 
 
Overall, I'm happy I read it and my interest in all things WWII has been rekindled. 

I'd go 3.5
