content: This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. I've read it a few times and always find it fascinating. Whether all of these stories of Henri Charriere ("Papillon") are true, I don't know. I only know he is one heckuva storyteller.The amount of ups-and-downs in Charriere's years of imprisonment and escapes are just mind-boggling. Told in the first-person narrative, "Papi" tells it all simply and colorfully.If you are seeking a great adventure book, you can't wrong with this.
