Well, I suppose it deserves its own thread. A phenomenal best seller, a memorable film spin off, and a gripping account of the triumph of the human spirit despite man's inhumanity to man.
And I've just started reading it. I'm not really into fiction that much, but a good friend of mine kept pestering me to give it a go. So I have.
A few pages in, and Papillon has just been sent down in a heinous miscarriage of justice.
I like the fact that this is probably the sort of book that Charles de Gaulle would wrinkle his nose at before saying, 'Pah!'
What's the OTF opinion?
