5.0 out of 5 stars THE GREATEST ADVENTURE STORY EVER WRITTEN, January 16, 2000

Paul (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Papill�n (Paperback)

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 Charriere's writing made me feel like I was right there with him during his incredible adventures. Some people question the veracity of Charriere's story because they can not believe one man has been through so much and came out alive. I feel it is not important whether the whole story is really true or not, it is only important that you believe it is. Read this book and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Papillon: Unbreakable spirit, April 11, 2005

D. Aponte "literature for punishment" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Papillon (Spanish edition) (Paperback)

I read this book after my father's death; it was one of his favorite and now one of mine. It is impossible to maintain a stoic attitude towards the fortitude of its characters, the incredibly journeys at the turn of each page, and the amazing beauty and misfortune of the Caribbean and its people.
