"Happy to report that you can watch this movie with small children and it will (mostly) hold their attention. You'll both feel good about the experience. Meanwhile, all I really want to do with my life is make a movie like this."

good depiction of French penal islands amazing pidgeon island scene shows more of Henri's life than the more up to date version whilst being a prisoner. (0 more)

Excellent yet misleading
This movie is great, I am a huge fan of papillon and this film shows a good reflection of the penal islands and various escape attempts. The film is no where near as good as the books and veers away from charrieres account in which can be annoying if you have read the book first as you sit there and think we'll that's not right that never happened. despite this it's still worth a watch especially for the pigeon island scene.

The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)
This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.
The one thing that I'd comment on is the ending. It felt like it ended very abruptly to me in the way the main character is caught. (0 more)

"As any parent knows, preparing your kids for life after high school is a long and sometimes difficult journey. Tavenner—who created a network of some of the best performing schools in the nation—has put together a helpful guidebook about how to make that process as smooth and fruitful as possible. Along the way, she shares what she’s learned about teaching kids not just what they need to get into college, but how to live a good life".

I read this book in two days and enjoyed it. The writing is easy to follow most of the time but doesn't water it down to the point of insulting my intelligence. This is a good look into life of deployment. I learned new ways of helping people cope with incredible situations as well.
