Confession #10 "unbroken"

I love reading books that will be movies. Reason number one.... Well the book must have appealed to someone to spen thousands to make it a movie! Two I love to see the book unfold on the big screen. Right now I am reading unbroken... Well I confess I listen to some books in the car ... This is one of them. I some times travel for three to four hours in the car when visiting my in laws and can get some of the more adult readings on my list out of the way. Right now I am about half way through "Unbroken". At heart I love history so I am always interested in learning about Americas hearitage and how we came to be the land of the free. This book is exciting but painful at the same time. Starting out as an athlete that goes to the Olympics and then after Pearl Harbor gets drafted, over comes so many fears to be captured and played with like a cat with a mouse. Also to live in a raft with two other men for 40+ days is crazy. I am not done with it yet but I am very curious to find out how in the world this man gets through this war. Where I am at now he was shipped to Japan and separated from his raft buddy. He has broken out of his cell and stole food, but did not get punished. Personally I feel that the Japanese favor him because he was an Olympian. I feel like that is why he will out live the other captives.
