View Full Version : Papillon-AMAZING mholey 30-01-2008, 23:53 I read the book the other week, and I must say it is the greatest piece of entertainment of all time, be it book,tv,film, or music. If I was female it would have made me cry. Anyone else read it, I would love to discuss it with someone... donuticus 31-01-2008, 02:24 If you think Papillon is good, try the Deer Hunter, now that is fantastic.

If I was female it would have made me cry. Anyone else read it, I would love to discuss it with someone... I read it many years ago, after seeing the film. I thought it was a fantastic story. I think I might just read it again! Henri Charriere then wrote Banco, covering the next part of his life - its interesting, but not as exciting as Papillon. willman 31-01-2008, 06:52 excellent book, read it a few times over the years. the movie doesn't do it justice. neither does Banco. Grim Reaper 31-01-2008, 07:12 I too have read it a number of times. But now I've been reminded I may well just take back of the bookcase and start it again. :D teddie 31-01-2008, 10:03 I've read it a few rimes, the film wasn't very good though. I wanted him to stay with the Indians Glennis 31-01-2008, 10:15 Yes, read it a few years ago, and went to see the film. I really enjoyed both, but especially the book as you get the feeling and emotions. Chris_Sleeps 31-01-2008, 12:55 I read the book on my girlfriends recomendation (before she was my gf) and loved it. I love the way they never beat Charriere, no matter what they do. A great example of what you can do with your life, no matter what happens. mholey 31-01-2008, 16:14 I really didn't like the film too much, loads was missed out, and it just didn't seem to be true to the original story. I plan on getting Banco fairly soon, I'm sure Amazon have it somewhere. teddie 31-01-2008, 18:54 I really didn't like the film too much, loads was missed out, and it just didn't seem to be true to the original story.

Banco is a bit of a disappointment melthebell 31-01-2008, 19:57 awesome film we watched it in english at school as well as kes, all quiet on the western front, billy liar |
