Papillon by Henri Charrière

2.0

Ted Bundy pissing people off,even from the grave

I bought this book thanks to a recommendation by Ted Bundy in the dramumentary based on his life. I have a compulsion to finish books I start so I was forced to complete the 500 odd pages of minutiae about the time this man spent on jail. It's hard to believe this Papillon is the most honest direct well loved person in every jail he comes across. People simply accede to his wishes with little resistance. Aside from the odd trope about freedom and rehabilitation, I would not recommend this book.
