Catch Me If You Can by Frank W. Abagnale
DID NOT FINISH: 17%

Knowing how very little of this book is actually factual, it was difficult to get over how absolutely gross the writing is. I understand that it was written in 1980 about the 60s but the way the author continuously speaks about women is just not something I could ignore. 

It’s unfortunate. I LOVE the movie and had wanted to read the book for years but I just could not continue to read this. Maybe it’s a case of it just being the wrong time, but I just found Frank to be dishonest and smarmy, rather than young, endearing, and opportunistic as I have in the film. 

Honestly, I feel bad having the library ship this in from a neighbouring community for my hold.
