Unbroken

Strong 4 1/2. The audio is read by Edward Herman, which is such a delight, as his dignified and classical delivery is so perfectly suited to the story. Liz and I listened to this on a car trip together, and it took much longer to get through because we kept having to pause for exclamations and discussions (recommended!). The story is so fantastical, I was on the edge of my seat on what happened next to him and his friends in the story. I also appreciated the historical details. Though they did slow the story, I learned from them and they inspired a lot of great discussions. Glad this is on the HBOB list!
