This book was wonderful
relationship is very sweet and it was nice to see
I found this section of the book personally interesting
The characters could not have been better
the strong side
and with such an expansive cast of characters, sometimes it can be hard to remember them all or they end up sounding alike, but all these characters are easily identifiable as themselves
The characters are rich and fantastic
Every now and then
This book ran true to my memories
But I absolutely loved it
My favorite aspect of this book is the fact that the ending had my stomach in knots and gripped with suspense
perspective was great
He has some good info
The plot device of finding each clue and solving it got a little bit tedious at times
the characters so much and the writing is just terrific
The beginning was interesting
All this happened because I was interested in a single book
The overall story was good, but not really intriguing to me
The characters are memorable and well written
The ending was interesting

Imagine living during the middle 19th century as a free man

I was disappointed that there wasn't an overall theme
The idea for the plot is an interesting one
but would not have it on my own personal shelf
So beautifully written, so uplifting, I am so happy that I gave this book a chance
That is why I gave it one star because I hated it

I had to choose it for my review
Book
Story line was very interesting
it is very good and worth the time and money
The journey that this little boy took is absolutely amazing and worth the little bit
The characters were interesting and the history was sad
All good characters have flaws
complete characters
I have a different set of reasons than most
Character development is very intricate
Christian Grey, a mega rich
who read it, I loved "Seabiscuit". Loved it. I found this surprising given the fact that I had never had any interest in horses or horse racing before. But from the first sentence, the prose in that book is as beautiful and engaging as prose can be."Unbroken" is not "Seabiscuit". Don't get me wrong, the story is remarkable, and it's exhaustively researched. You can't sneeze at 397 endnotes. But Laura Hillenbrand's writing in this outing is less like poetry and more like reporting. Jammed with details, the book reads like the world's longest New Yorker article.The topic is hardly new. WWII has been pretty exhaustively covered, and this particular story has been told before. The hero of the book, Louis Zamperini, published his own memoirs only a few years ago. The hardships of war and the cruelty of the Japanese come as no surprise.Louie's story is so remarkable and so detailed that, frankly, it strains the limits of credulity. I'm not challenging the facts; I'm just saying that it's a lot to remember. Personally, I wouldn't even want to. I wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes drifting in that life raft. I would have eaten all the chocolate and stuck my head in a shark. How anyone could remember the ordeal in hour-by-hour detail is beyond me.Ultimately, I couldn't finish the book. I feel bad that I didn't have the strength to read the experiences someone else had to live, but I gave up on about my third POW camp. Starvation, deprivation, cruelty, disease, humiliation, I got the picture. Repeated cycles don't necessarily make for a great story; it just makes for a tedious narrative.Which made me ponder the purpose of the book. As a moving story, it's too detailed to carry a theme. As reporting, it's redundant and profoundly out of date. What's the take-away message supposed to be?I tried to skip to the end, but the `redemption' part just didn't grab me. It's not hard to believe that someone who lived this life would be scarred forever. I practically got PTSD just reading it. It's also not hard to believe someone who
the cover is so pretty
The characters were entertaining and the banter was witty and hilarious
ends the story still being somewhat mysterious
the cover was interesting the idea was unique
They still are drawn to one another
The characters have an amazing relationship and nothing happens between them until after TJ is a legal adult
their thoughts and conflicts that sometimes go on and on
Hassan, is genuinely, perhaps, the most decent human being you can ever come across out there
was able
the characters are so realistic
personal interest
I found the characters to be one
Perfect development of the characters
Both have the main male character being drop dead sexy, rich businessmen that are very protective
Suzy Wilson's review Apr 23
This is my only problem really
The plot is compelling if gruesome and disturbing at several points
Women are always stronger than men
They have great character development
the journey they take was exciting
The first is that of "time slicing", which demonstrates how important information can be encoded in a very short period of time. Most of Gladwell's examples are socioloical, and the most striking of which was research which aimed to predict whether married couples would get divorced after analyzing a single conversation with them.The other concept is how the brain acts subconsciously to certain stimulus
Gillian Flynn has a great writing style and her characters are perfectly and realistically twisted
The characters are completely unbelievable in their roles
uncomfortable given the extremely detailed romantic impulses and actions of the female protagonist and her lover
Being a person who rarely reads fantasy
The tragic story
Billionaire falls for a girl and likes to be in charge of all aspects of his life
is completely unexpected and almost swathed in mystery

lengthy descriptions of unnecessary things
has an amazing plot

Stop saving everyone
exciting plot
the plot is excellent in terms of its riveting sequence of events
about sitting in the dining room was so real
the main character, I fell in love with Braden and Ellie
it brought together the characters endings in a lovely way
savages with no brains that need Aes Sedai to guide them and all women are helpless and need men around to protect them, but I seem to have higher expectations.Edit update: 1/3 of the way through Book 10Ok, things did slow down a bit. Part of the issue is that there are so many players and so many tangents that it takes forever to tell one and get back to another. Still, petty good overall so I'll try and finish it out.
