I have to finish this one.
I.HAVE.TO.

But it's really hard to me to focus on Eric Lomax's voice >< I hope to be hooked up soon (I've read only 80 pages in months!)

I can‘t even begin to describe how powerful this book is. It really puts into perspective the petty differences that brew in this day and age, and how hate can truly destroy a person. This is about an unimaginably terrible experience, and the power of forgiveness. Extraordinary.

‘Sometime the hating has to stop‘ - Lomax

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wrote a lengthy review on Instagram (@hweesh) but since Litsy has a miserly character limit, I‘ll just say this: read the book. The movie might have been well-made but nothing beats hearing Eric Lomax‘s voice itself. He‘s a brilliant man. My first 5 stars awarded.

Eric Lomax was a young man when he was captured and moved with tens of thousands of POW‘s to Thailand, to build the notorious ‘Death Railway‘ in 1943. “It was a passage way for military transport from Thailand to Burma..
Tens of thousands died building the railway #tracks and were subjected to some of the most dire conditions.”
Have not read the book but the film adaptation starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman was very good.

We just watched this movie and I now want to read the book. Elements of Unbroken and reminders of The Bridge over the River Kwai... The acting! Who could miss with this cast? I was bawling, yet - I still can't quite say it is a great movie. Anyway, why no movie tracking app like goodreads for books?
