Question

I just found out (thanks to a nice contributor) that he wrote another book called "Banco"... what is it about and is it any good? Thank you to the person who told me about Banco. cheers mate!

Answer 1

Papillon is my most favourite novel, i've read it 3 times.

I didn't know about Banco, but if you search for it on google.com, you can find reviews, and Amazon.com is selling it for pretty cheap.

I found this quote off of Amazon's website, i'm gonna go look for it in the stores:

"BANCO" takes up from where "PAPILLON" left off. The author has escaped into Venezuela. He is deeply embittered and finds it difficult at first to readjust to life on the outside. He is set on revenge for he feels that he was framed for a crime he did not commit. As a way of working out his anger, the author becomes involved in an elaborate plan to stage a big robbery so that he can not only enrich himself, but also return to Europe and exact his revenge. While set on his plans for revenge, however, the author finds love and peace of mind.
