As a fellow journalist and writer who can not but marvel at how Franklin was able to full access to this incredible story. His writing style narrative has the look more like a novel than a work of nonfiction. I found myself pausing while reading to remember that this is a true story.

Franklin throws and not let go. For the latest insider dealing is the definitive account of a fascinating story of perseverance, determination and survival, I recommend "33 men".

5 Hidden Tricks
By Amanda J. Kirdulis
4 The iPhone is a gadget interesting toy, no argument there. I've loaded mine with tons of applications and customized to my liking. As everyone knows, however, Apple likes to hide many secrets within its mobile operating systems. That's where this guide really came through for me.

After only a couple of minutes reading this guide, who had discovered several tricks I never knew, even as an avid Apple user. There's a reason Apple's manual is free. These hidden features are not described at all in your manual. The survival guides are very useful!

5 One of the most beautiful books of the year
For liat2768
I read this book in two days flat and I know that if I had time, should be read in one sitting. This is a book that grips you, pulls you and lets a person a little better for having read.

The story is that of Louie Zamperini - a track and field star of the 1930 who participated in the Berlin Olympics, was part of the U.S. Air Forcein the Second World War, was shot down over the sea, was adrift in the Pacific for over a month, was held as a prisoner of war by the Japanese forces and eventually made it back to his life and has had the courage to live fully.

Hillenbrand is a wonderful author. He never had the temptation to read Seabiscuit and this was my first introduction to his work. She is one of the few authors who can write a fictional story not in the way more exciting and intense imaginable. Instead of being decorated with flowers or over his prose is based directly on research and testimony of witnesses, and yet manages to not be boring. The story moves quickly takes the reader from beginning Zamperini, its rapid ascent to the track star, Olympic Games in Berlin and after World War II. This is where the story really blossoms. Hillenbrand settles in the long run, and here we see the Air Force and B24 bombers through the words of men who actually took them. The sequences where Zamperini and his friend Phil was adrift at sea are vivid and well described strange. The horrors that await them in Japanese prison camps are not overlooked but not wallow in the gore Hillenbrand and violence as some authors may be tempted to do. There is always a strong sense of the author's relationship applies to men whose story is being allowed to tell.

History has his eyes focused perhaps too exclusively on the war in Europe to the extent that the situation in the Pacific and the situation of prisoners of war has not received the attention and respect they deserve. Hillenbrand's book and a detailed research makes a strong attempt to change that.

Solidly based on statistics and reports from the army on both sides of the war, the book Hillenbrands a clear picture of the hellish conditions that the prisoner of war and suffered the madness of war being waged in the Pacific. This is a difficult story to read but well worth it. The falling apart of the life of Louie and his slow journey to regain his life and sense of purpose is a story that is truly inspiring. This book is a permanent place of honor in my library.

5 A Nightmare on Shangra-La
For PT Cruiser
This book is a true story, but Mitchell Zuckoff does an amazing job of telling what reads like a novel that grabs you from the beginning, and I was damn near impossible to put down. Imagine going on a tour of view flyby view of the jungle areas of the world's most beautiful mountain to see an almost hidden, unspoilt valley and then crashing into a mountain and one of the few survivors trying find a solution. But leave or return to base is not easy in a place without roads or paths, only dense rainforest vegetation, a large canopy and vines above and below you. Imagine being injured with open wounds and have to exist in a place that is constantly wet and steaming all sorts of bacteria and fungi and some that do not interrupt. Not even want to think about all the insects and creatures that call this place home. Add to that the stories they've heard of throwing the spear, the native cannibals and wonder how these people do not give up on the spot.

After reading the description of the book and know that it was a rescue and reading about what the outcome was, I was a little worried that the book could not keep my attention. However, do not worry, as soon as I started reading I was fascinated by the amount of detail and how to hold on to the story. Mitchell Zuckoff said he did not take liberties with any of the events, characters, dialogue or a timeline that must have made a double challenge for him to put the diaries, notes, news and news and interviews all together in a way made me feel like if there personally involved with these people.

Besides being a good read, added to my knowledge of the history of the Second World War. With so many battles going on all over the world, New Guinea is not a place you've read a lot about history books about the war. This book tied up much of what was happening in that area with me. There are plenty of characters in this book besides just Zuckoff survivors and gives us the back story on several of the rescuers and the people at base camp and some of the policies of the time. It does so not to interrupt the main action, but rather adds to the vision and makes it much more interesting.

This would be a good book for any fan of the Second World War, history buffs, fans of adventure and action, and indeed anyone who loves a good read. And because one of the main characters in this story is a woman who joined the WAC, I think it would be equally interesting for both men and women. Two thumbs up for this great book that left me blurry eyes this morning after "one more page" kept me awake most of the night to finish it.
