Con artist extraordinaire from the ages of 16-21, Frank Abagnale's methods would have a difficult time working today with modern security measures, etc, but make no mistake, what he did took skill. I wouldn't call this a comedy, although some people have, because these were very real crimes he committed. It might be that the movie made them funny, but I can't say that I laughed. He was bright, very good at reading people and situations, stayed sober and learned to plan well. It helped that he looked a good deal older than he was.

I thought that the book was quite solidly written and very readable. One thing that helped me enjoy it better is knowing that by the time he was thirty, he was helping people prevent the types of crimes he had perpetrated.
