I don't know if all of it was true, but still, it was an amazing book, full of adventure, true friendship and courage. The way he inspired trust and leadership was incredible. He had a way with people, they respected him and everyone tried to make his life as good as it could be given the circumstances. He never lost hope, he never ceased trying to escape, he was a fighter all the way until the end.

La escritura de H. Charrière no se destaca por su complejidad ni mucho menos por el ritmo del relato - hasta que uno se acostumbra es bastante denso -, pero sí por la crudeza y severidad con la que expone al Sistema Penitenciario del siglo XX. Trece años de encierro marcados por una violencia institucional implacable, cuyo objetivo principal fue asfixiar todo vestigio de humanidad en sus presos. De momentos es un libro de terror, pero el protagonista siempre parte de la misma consigna: ser libre.
Papillon fue un hombre que a pesar de todas las adversidades inimaginables, nunca dejó de luchar por conseguir su libertad. En sus peores momentos se recordaba "Debo repetir en cada ocasión que esté a punto de abandonarme a la desesperación, tres veces, esta frase: «Mientras hay vida, hay esperanza.»". Una persona que en su perseverancia y autovalía finalmente logró vencer el camino de la podredumbre.

The book was a bit slow in places and could have done with a bit of editing, but overall it was compelling.

I really had a hard time reading this book. I tried reading it about three times, but I just never really got into it. Luckily, listening to it as an audiobook saved me here, as it made the reading experience much more enjoyable and creating the illusion that Papillon himself told the story out loud. It was an interesting story, but the writing style was just a big hurdle to enjoy it properly.
