An interesting concept, but I don't know too much about the novel, so I am interested to read further into it.

I find the book especially interesting because of the historical insight and the knowledge it gives you on WWII. Rather than telling the story as a good guy vs bad guy fight in which good prevails, the story is set up to tell the story of someone's life. The war just happened to be a part of it. That is what really sets unbroken aside from your typical war novel.

I haven't been able to read too far into the book, but I have high expectations for it due to friends' reviews. So far, the characterization of the main character is interesting, especially with all of his interesting childhood stories.

Winston Churchill was an interesting man that did the best to keep his country safe. Willing to speak his voice, Churchill was able to incite change.

Churchill knew being humble was good, which lead him far in life. More people should know that skill today.

Churchill was a brilliant, outspoken when, but was still willing to realize he didn't know everything. He was not stubborn in his beliefs and was always open to new ideas. Such a skill would be very useful in modern day.

Churchill was an inspiring man, and I would love to read about his story.

I love this book as it is historical fiction, something that interests me. However, I would like to get more in depth knowledge from the Congolese perspective about the corporate greed going on.

Piscine is having so many internal conflicts, but rather than tearing him apart, these conflicts make him stronger. The remarkable writing makes each scene heartfelt and so far I really enjoy this book.

The concept of the book seems fascinating, but I'm not very far through it. I've heard good things and am looking forward to reading the novel.

Holden is an interesting character and a rather polarizing one. Personally, I like his character and find his honesty somewhat refreshing and hysterical at times.

Read the introduction which makes this book seem revolutionary at the time of its release. I'm looking forward to reading it.

I really like this book so far, as it is an allegory to an historical event and I would recommend all Geiger Orwell novels as his writing style is fantastic.

I would recommend this book as it is the first and my favorite dystopian novel. I like it way more than today's cliché dystopian novels.

The concept of how a government can control its people is astounding. Not through force can a government fully control their people. The government can only truly control people through their brain. The worst control isn't physical, it is mental.

I began to read this book because I have heard about it from a friend. I had high expectations, and this book has not disappointed. It is the original dystopian novel, and in many ways far better than current dystopian novels.

Great dystopian novel with an interesting writing style.

The secret agent part of this book interests me because it adds some suspense. The book breaks from the plot with pictures to look at every once in a while which is nice. So far, so good.

The concept seems relatively interesting at the moment, but I have not gotten very far through the book yet. I think I'm going to like it.

They are currently in Iran and the U.S. Government isn't doing anything to save them. The suspense is building and their punishment for entering is unknown.

I'm interested by the story lines, but at the same time , I am slightly confused. I am not sure when the dream is going on or whether it is reality. That being said, I am enjoying the plot twists in the book.

I find the fact that there are two narratives really interesting. However, this two narrative are by the same person, Paul Berlin. One of the narratives takes place in the real world while the other narrative takes place in his dreams. These narratives really add to the book.

I have just started the book, and so far I feel like the concept would make for a great story. A man trying to walk from Vietnam to Paris seems like it would be fun to read about it. So far, I'm liking the book.
