A review by hvgge
Papillon by Henri Charrière

5.0

I was first intimidated by the size of the book, but quickly got hooked to this incredible tale of a man seeking to regain his freedom.

The book is eventful and rich. The author digs deep into exposing his motivations, which are more complex than simply getting out of jail for the sake of it.

It is perhaps not the most sophisticated littérature, yet it had a significant historical impact and remains a page-turner even today.
