It told a miraculous World War II story and I would definitely recommend the book to anyone. Unbroken has many good aspects. For instance‚ Louie‚ the main character‚ as well as all of the other characters are well developed. I was able to get a very clear picture of the characters’ personalities

    Nick-O-Las Reading this article‚ I was at first confused as to what the author was complaining about. As I kept reading I began to understand that the author was angry with the people who opposed the governments healthcare plan or as he called it‚ “Obamacare”.
