Not one to like or enjoy. It's impossible to like reading about the indescribable suffering the main character, a famous athlete, experienced as a Japanese P.O.W. and impossible to enjoy reading about his crashing into the Pacific and what he and two other airmen underwent, constantly attacked by sharks, half-starving, drifting thousands of miles. However, this story of an extraordinary man, who not only survived but was capable of forgiveness, needed to be told and read.
