Very fun ride, even though most of it seemed so unreal. It's cool to suspend disbelief for a second (and then get mad about how many things this man got away with just by being handsome or clever)
I totally loved every second of this book (the movie is one of my favorites) up until the very end. When it ended, I seriously thought, "is that it?"
The book was repetitive and simply written, but Frank's elaborate cons make this memoir as interesting as fiction
While the movie based on the book is okay, the book is much better. You get right down into the details of how Abagnale pulled off his con games. You have to wonder what he could have done with his life if he'd spent as much energy and time on a legitimate line of work as he did trying to con people. A really fun nonfiction read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Couldn't believe how easy it was back then to commit fraud. It was really a matter of playing the system and how the banks couldn't figure out what was happening. Other than that, it was interesting to see how the author describes the prison system between France and Sweden. Definitely a good read.

I found this book thoroughly entertaining! I know that there are accusations of exaggeration, but honestly, it didn't ruin the experience for me. It was a wild ride from start to finish, and it was such a fun book to read for the most part!
