As a reader and a teacher, I read a wide variety of books and keep an open mind. This book was excellent and very well-written. I reviewed one of my tutoring student's essay on this book and it inspired me to want to read the book ever since. My stepson is a naval aviator so his story hit close to home. Mr Coffee is a man of great strength and survived conditions I can't even fathom. I wish this book had been in my classroom when I taught a Vietnam War unit as the story depicts what this man (and other veterans) endured during a long imprisonment in the Vietnam War. Throughout the book is not only great lessons in regards to strength and courage, but perseverance, faith, and hope. There are many lessons and a new appreciation anyone (young or old) can learn from this inspirational book. This one will get a second read soon!
