a great book to read Best Read [ Devil at My Heels ] author [ Louis Zamperini ] – kino-fada.fr After reading Laura Hillenbrand s Unbroken I decided to read Louis Zamperini s own story in his own words

decided to read it anyway because I love the story and wanted to hear it in Louie s own words I m so glad I did I wouldn t recommend one book over the other they are amazing in different ways and I d hand both to anyone Laura Hillenbrand is technically the better writer she s better than most writers...This book has the soul and emotion that Unbroken lacks I read Devil at My Heels after Unbroken, looking for inner thoughts, feelings and emotions and that it what I found Zamperini spends muchtime discussing his conversion, forgiveness, and influence, which was so curious to me in Unbroken So I

my entire reading experience Naturally, I was pleased to learn that the man himself had written a book telling the story of his experiences from his own perspective, so I waited for it for weeks at the library and finally had a chance to revisit the world of this famous former Olympi I, like many others, first heard of Louis Zamperini because of Laura Hillenbrand s Unbroken A World War II Story
