The book was fabulous. I was able to meet Zapperini (the true storey hero of this incredible story) at a BMW /Olympic event several years ago. He was an Amazing individual. his story unfolds almost like a Forest Gump from the 30s and 40s. The bulk of the story I suspect will focus on his survival at sea, his torture in a Japanese POW camp, his life torment later and his eventual Christian redemtion. It is a story I really didn't think mainstream Hollywood would make.
