Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

Book Club Recommended

Inspiring, Dramatic, Informative

Unbroken

Most of our club said they could not put "Unbroken" down once they started it. Great book...the movie does not do it justice, but was still good.

Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson

Book Club Recommended

Informative, Interesting, Dramatic

Dead Wake

Kind of slow and bogged down in details to start, but very informative on several levels. If you are not interested in history of WW I, and specifically the Lusitania it may be a difficult read.

Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue

Book Club Recommended

Dramatic, Interesting, Insightful

Room A Novel

At times I was very upset with myself for not being able to read faster to see what happens next. Difficult subject matter, but handled brilliantly by the author.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Book Club Recommended

Dark, Interesting, Dramatic

Handmaids Tale

Generates great discussion for a book club. Very thought provoking, especially in light of present issues of exclusion and intolerance.
