The book is a much more accurate and much more compelling story of the arrest, imprisonment and escape of Billy Hayes in Turkey and imprisoned for smuggling than the 1978 movie. Of course the book is in Hayes' own words and not the twisted fantasies of overzealous filmmakers so that is definitely a big plus.Hayes goes into details over what happened when and after he was arrested for attempting to smuggle 2 kilos of hashish out of the country, the people he met and befriended (or antagonized in a couple of cases) in prison, the adjustments he made in adapting to prison life, the endless boredom of just having to wait, wait, wait and rot while the courts decided his fate, the devastation he experienced when his original 4 year sentence for possession is extended to 30 years. Unlike the movie,in which he condemned the whole nation as 'pigs' Hayes actually tells the judges that he forgives them.Story doesn't end there though obviously. Despite the court's decision, Billy is more determined than ever to want to escape, while his family, friends, lawyers and other outside contacts continue to try and win him his freedom....to no avail. Even the transfer to the U.S. that his American lawyer was so confident would be granted to Billy and seemed like his best bet to get out of jail long before his new 30 year sentence was up, continued to stall and drag on without a decision in sight as to when or even if he would be going home. So Billy finally decides to take matters in his own hands and escape....That's another big glaring omission from the movie. In the film, Billy escapes by accidentally killing the brutal guard and steals the key so he can quietly sneak out of the prison and make his way to Greece. In reality Billy was transferred to an island prison where he made his way out with a rowboat and furiously rowing away to land and heading to Greece. He was captured there but deported back to the U.S. where he is very joyfully reunited with his family.It really is a powerful story and another important difference....the real Billy takes responsibility for what he did and recognizes what he did was wrong....in sharp contrast to the Billy in the movie who is little more than a whiner who never really owns up to what he did or the fact that he broke the law. I sympathize with the real man much more than the one portrayed by Brad Davis.One thing that should be said though....Hayes couldn't admit it at the time but at the time of his arrest it was NOT his first time smuggling. He actually had done it before 3 times successfully but ran out of luck his fourth time due to the fact that recent hijackings caused airport security to tighten up and be more stricter. I can certainly understand why he would not want to admit that at the time of his arrest....he would no doubt have gotten life, no reduced 30 years or less. Public and political reaction to his situation would have been way less sympathetic.Hayes was no innocent....he makes no bones about that. Did he deserve to serve time? I think so. Did he deserve life or 30 years for his crime (even if he had done it repeatedly)....no. After he escaped he made something of himself, so I'd say he most certainly did learn his lesson and became a better person for it.The book will suck you in, I know it did me. It is a far more compelling and involving story than the movie led you to believe. I highly recommend it.

Great book! It is well written and is very Gripping right from the start. It gives great insight as to how the justice systems work in foreign countries and even though we are not always happy with ours I am so thankful for the justice system we have after reading this book. The squalor this man was forced to live in and his treatment by the police & prison officials is Appalling. I Highly recommend Midnight Express it is a real eye opener and it is also 100 times better than the movie, what book isn't right? :) One Huge difference between the book & the movie is the ending. The book's ending, which is the Real ending, is so much more plausible and Harrowing, edge of your seat suspenseful than the Lame "Hollywood's" movie version. I don't know why the people who made the movie didn't stick to the book it certainly would have been so much better. Buy this book it is definitely worth reading

Billy Hayes’ chronicle of his horrific five years in a Turkish prison doesn’t read like tense existentialist struggle against impossible odds, but rather like a Hallmark movie of the week. By now, the story is well known. In 1970, Hayes was arrested for attempting to smuggle two kilos of hashish out of the Turkey. As a result, he was sentenced to four years imprisonment that later turned into a thirty year sentence due to the heated Turkish political climate. During his stay, he meets several inmates with whom he holds very close friendships, and their passages read like tender exchanges with people the reader can care for. Unfortunately, there is never any real depth to his writing of these relationships. At most, the depth is in Hayes’ mindset itself, which would be a good thing except that it’s covered only in the chapters dealing with his stay in a Turkish mental institution. To be fair, these chapters are well written, as he describes the institution’s dilapidated conditions as far worse than the prison environment. However, this has very little reading impact as he only describes the prison environment in very few paragraphs, and in only one chapter. Even in the letters he writes to his family and girlfriend, though they may be reprinted exactly as written, for a reader who is not a member of his family one walks away feeling frustrated because he doesn’t go into detail the loneliness he is suffering. He’s clearly suffering, but he doesn’t provide to the reader what exactly constitutes “Billy Hayes loneliness” Perhaps what makes Hayes’s book such an apathetic read is having seen Alan Parker’s extraordinarily powerful film adaptation. Despite its fictionalizing many of Hayes facts, it’s still a spine bending experience one can never forget. Unless the film is your all time favorite, it’s probably best to skip Hayes’ books and instead see the various interviews available online where he discusses the actual facts. If you still are curious to read it, do so while listening to Giorgio Moroder’s classic film score, which for me augmented the much-needed emotional intensity the book lacked. (As a side note, I only read the book because it took me almost 25 years to find a copy, having been so blown away by the film.) I give the book three stars instead of 1.5 or 2 stars as I listened to the soundtrack throughout the read. So if you want an easy but enjoyable read, do so while listening to the music. Otherwise, just go on YouTube and type “Billy Hayes”.

I read this book several years ago and vaguely recalled how horrifying it was, so decided to pick it up and read again. I had forgotten so much of what this man went through, and I felt like I was right there with him during his escape from the Turkish prison system. He does not even remotely pretend that he was falsely imprisoned - he admits he broke the law and paid the consequences. What he endures during his incarceration and his harrowing escape make for a really good read. This should not be interpreted as any kind of political statement. It's simply his experience, shared with the world.

Midnight Express by Billy HayesI read this book because my former father recommended it to me, and I am very happy I did. This book is a warning to Westerners not to get mingled with drugs in a Muslim or Eastern country. The sentences for trafficking are extremely severe. I think every young person in America should read this book.
