Week 8: Assignment 4 Book talk 2 books using Appeal factors

An adventurous, fast paced, popular book  set in World War II , Unbroken: A World War II story of  survival,resilience, and redemption by Laura Hildenbrand  the recognized author of Sea Biscuit is the fast paced story of lieutenant and airman Louis Zamperini former Olympic runner. He crashed into the Pacific Ocean in May 1943 , lived in a raft and became a prisoner of War.  Readers of Fiction like December 6 a mystery by MartinCruz Smith would like this book because of its World War II  setting, mysterious outcome, and fast pace.


Stiff: curoius lives of human cadavers by Mary Roach is a humorous factual account of what happens to the human body once  the spirit is  gone. The detailed  historical accounts of what cadavers have been used for and how they are used and handled are presented in a  thought provoking way that only Mary Roach a popular author can communicate such a topic.  I would recommend this book to Fiction Readers of  The Normals by David Gilbert because he to uses psychological humor in conveying a story about human experimentation.
