By Laura Hillenbrand
Genre: Non Fiction
I am only through half of this book but it is really sucking me in. It is about a runner named Louis. He was a trouble maker as a kid but running saves him. He started to train for the Olympics. He participated in the 1936 Olympics. There he meets Hitler. After the Olympics he started training for the next one. He wanted to win. Then he gets drafted into the army and he becomes a bombardier. He encounters a few life or death experiences and a few of his friends die in combat. Times become hard for him and started to resort to drinking.
I really am liking this book. I like how well the author describes feelings and characters. It draws me into the book and makes it nearly impossible put down. It describes feelings that I feel every day but on a much higher and impossible level. I would recommend this book to anybody even in you do not think you like non fiction.
