Catch Me If You Can

Frankness
Some incidents appeared to me as unreal- it appears that it was too easy to con anybody at any time.

Entertaining and ilustrative.
Very entertaining, Abignale's adventures are funny and food for thinking: his deductions and observation about the bank security (in his times) are good.Nevertheless, I saw a video that shows that all that Abignale wrote in this book is fake... But it is entertaining.

Better than the film
Having seen the film several times I was keen to read this book and find out the real man behind the film. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, what he went through was certainly not as glamorous as the film. I especially liked the question and answers at the end of the book.

Hilarious story whether it is all fact or with some fiction
My copy of this book is through Audible books version. Let me first say that the narration was very well done and with a good pace. I quickly found myself wanting to get back to the story while driving or taking walks. I was familiar with the story line because of the movie, which I always say is perhaps the only DiCaprio movie that I really enjoyed his acting. The book has little to say about the FBI agent assigned to catch him and ended w/o reference to his post-criminal career. In fact, it ends with yet another of his clever means of evading capture.As far as whether all that he wrote, or had written for him, was true is frankly not my concern. It's not like I'm using his ideas for my own life. It doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the book whether he was at serious risk of entering Italian prisons as stated in the book or if he actually had all the sexual escapades. It's a good story and that's really all that's important. What I found most interesting is that while listening, I'm rooting for him to escape and pull off his cons. I don't like criminals, but he was fun. If you are wanting a story that is based on reliable truth or if you abhor criminal behavior, then I wouldn't recommend this book. But if you are just wanting a good and fun read, then Catch Me... remains and thoroughly engrossing book.

I agree with the other positive reviews! It was hard to put down this book - very fast paced and its amazing how a teenager could manage to do what he did. He is not at all a role model- but he is definitely not boring. I also agree with others who felt that the book was much more interesting than the movie. I had the opportunity to watch the movie after having read the book and found the movie missed a lot of the interesting parts.

Mucho mejor que la película
Para los que sepan bien Inglès, este libro va mas allá de la película. Más detalles, historia distinta, carcel de Francia mucho peor que en la película, estafas mas grandes, por todo el mundo occidental, incluyendo españa.Lo aconsejo
