I love this movie and it was interesting hearing the real story from Frank directly. I wish it went further into his story, it felt kind of like an abrupt ending.

His biggest con is convincing folks he did any of this 🙄. What he really did was stalk a woman for months and steal money from her family.

Amazing book! I've seen the movie many times, but the book is definitely better. I had no idea of his imprisonments in France and Sweden before he was sent to prison in the U.S.
A great recount of a man who was able to outsmart and con everyone around him.

The book was good and the man himself is fascinating. But the audio recording wasn’t awesome the narrator had an odd voice/cadence. And I wanted more at the end of the book. Overall insane that someone so young managed to get away with all that.

Ironically I read, and finished, this book on a plane. I liked this book a lot and would have garnished a 4.5 star if good reads offered one.

Frank comes across as engaging and honest (guess that's why he's a con man) in telling his story. It was difficult for me to read the book without picturing Leonardo DiCaprio playing the role in the movie.

The book comes across more cerebral and got into much more the detail of how he did his cons.
