I am listening to the audio version of the book (read by Edward Herman) It really translates to audio. In fact (as a teacher) I am putting together a "WW2 through oral history" class and might include this audio book to listen to in class. Only problem is it would take the whole semester if I played an hour of the book a week but it is an engrossing tale.

So if you are like me and an addict to audio books, this is a good pick for sure.

I think "Unbroken" is one of the best WW11 books I have ever read!!

I have to concur with everyone else, this is a great book and an amazing story of survival. It had to be one of the easiest reads for me in a long time. Someone I would love to meet and talk to. As for a moive, I think it would be a disapointment unless it was a mini-series. There is just too many things that happened to Zamperini that a 2 or 3 hour moive would not be able to handle porperly. You could do a movie on just his experience in the raft.

Funny thing is, I bought a kindle for my wife as she is an avid readed but turned out I read this before she could get her hands on it.
