À propos de cet audio

 The uproarious, bestselling true story of the world's most sought-after con man, immortalized by Leonardo DiCaprio in DreamWorks' feature film of the same name, from the author of Scam Me If You Can.

Frank W. Abagnale, alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams, and Robert Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters, and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious criminal career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and copiloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practiced law without a license, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks, all before he was twenty-one.

Known by the police of twenty-six foreign countries and all fifty states as "The Skywayman," Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the lam—until the law caught up with him. Now recognized as the nation's leading authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose hilarious, stranger-than-fiction international escapades, and ingenious escapes-including one from an airplane-make Catch Me If You Can an irresistible tale of deceit.

I don’t usually like books written by criminals, and I don’t like someone trying to pull the wool over pilots eyes (I have a lot of respect for these professionals!), however the sheer audacity of this fraudster, and all he pulled off, was too compelling to ignore, It was jaw dropping stuff, continually, and it kept me entertained. His techniques wouldn’t work today, but they were exceptionally clever at the time. He told it like it was, without being overly boastful, so that made it more palatable.

I have to admit that I liked it, a lot

Great book, amazing narration, but unfinished recording. Stops at Chapter 10 and jumping to End credits.
