Most criminals aren't amusing or endearing but Abagnale is both. He takes you through his life of avarice and greed and almost makes you believe there are no pitfalls. I wish it was fiction, but it wasn't. Still, nicely written and engaging.

I wish half stars were possible, because I'd give this one 4.5 stars overall.It took me longer to read than I expected, but Frank Abagnale intrigued me from the start. I've never seen the movie, but I'm definitely interested in seeing it now!

he certainly was a brilliant con man, and brilliant in general, but he is not a brilliant writer. still, this is a crazy story of his crime spree and a little on his capture. it makes for a quick, fun read (except for the womanizing and comments related).
