suspension paper: Blair Donaldson
                          
                      Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand is a true story based upon the life of Louie Zamperini, and since this book is true I think it makes it even more suspenseful right from the beginning. Louie Zamperini growing up was a troublesome kid, always stealing, or getting involved in activities he probably shouldn't have been, but Louie's brother Pete gets him involved in running and comes out of being a trouble maker into a fantastic record setting runner who goes to the Olympics. During 1941 Louie joined the Army Air Corps because this was during the time of world war 2 against the Japanese. Right then is when I knew there was going to be a lot of suspense. Having this being a true story, it feels so suspenseful all the time and the author really makes you feel like your with Louie and enduring all he endures.




                  Louie goes through drastic times that you would think would be impossible to live through  and the whole time your reading this book your wondering, oh my gosh what is going to happen next? You can feel the suspension throughout the whole book because you feel like as if your Louie, it makes your mind race. The thing is this book is so amazing that its hard to stop reading because the chapters always leave you in wonder so of course you have to go on. I read this book non stop for a week, although I had seen the movie before I read the book, the book still has details that make you feel even more deep into it. Like when Louie is on the raft after the plane crash or when he is at a  POW camp, you always are wanting to know what happens to him.


                 
               Laura also titles her chapters to make you curious as well, like "A Beckoning Whistle" it makes you curious about hmmmm... I wonder what that's talking about, but yet you might have an idea of what it could be, in that chapter of the book he becomes a Christian and devotes his life to Christ. The whole story of unbroken is amazing and inspiring and definitely suspenseful because this is a real person and real life events he had to go through. I would for surely list this book as one of the best books that keeps you on your toes the whole time, and what I love about it most is that is has a happy ending. Unbroken is suspenseful, amazing, and life changing.
