"THE GREATEST ADVENTURE STORY EVER WRITTEN" according to Paul. Out of print? Well check your local library for a copy because you must read this book. I went to the library to check out Tom Wolfe's THE RIGHT STUFF but they did not have that book. So, I looked around for something else to read and that is when I saw PAPILLON. I was only vaguely familar with the man and his story but it looked interesting. I checked the book out and proceeded to read the greatest adventure story ever written. I could not put this book down until I was finished. I will never forget Papillon's amazing struggle for freedom and his life. Henri Char. one to read again and again this is a book that's up there with the godfather, similar actually, in that it's a story of an exceedingly macho yet modest guy. this is an adventure extraordinaire, and it's got the good moral overtones - you want to see this "wrongly accused criminal" get free. i do wonder, though, did this guy actually do what he was convicted of??? for many years, however, papillon, the man that is, as told through the book, has been a role model of mine (i rather hate to admit it), the guy who's so tough inside that nothing can beat him, no prison can chain him down forever,. Papillon a good example of human courage When I first read Papillon I was in school and I never found a book as good as this ever after. 'cause it's a lesson, a tale about hope and friendship, the whole story seems to put you there with Charriere that's the meaning of oral literature. his adventures, his scapes his sadness are an epopey of human strenght. and a lesson for living. Since it's begining, the trial then the fantastic scape from the hospital, the story of the money holders stored deep inside his body all this and His 13th years of adventures are filled with passion, love and truth.
