Rating: Summary: Fascinating and ironically educating Review: This book outlines his life story and gives details to his adventures and escapades. I couldn't put the book down and will read it several times again! Thanks to Frank for sharing his life story!
Rating: Summary: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE TRUE STORIES IN THIS BOOK! Review: EVERY TIME I DEPOSIT MONEY INTO YHE BANK I WONDER IF IT'S REALLY GOING INTO MY ACCOUNT OR SOMEONE ELSES. WHEN I WENT TO COLLEGE I QUESTIONED ALL OF MY PROFFESSORS' KNOWLEDGE, AFTER I READ THIS BOOK. I OFTEN WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO TRAVEL THE WORLD UNDER A FALSE IDENTITY. I ALSO THINK OF HOW LONELY FRANK MUST HAVE FELT OUT IN THE WORLD, IN THE FRENCH PRISON, ETC. THANK YOU FRANK ABIGNALE JR. FOR YOUR TESTIMONIAL OF TRAVEL AND INTRIGUE, I LOVE IT!!
Rating: Summary: About the author Review: I just returned from San Antonio. Mr. Abagnale spoke to our group. Never had I heard a more interesting story about a man who basically raised himself, and the turns his life took because of it. I would encourage all, if given the chance, to see Mr. Abagnale.
Rating: Summary: Incredible and very interestingly funny Review: I've read this book several times since 1979, bought copies for gifts( because you never get one back ) For a man to have this kind of knowledge and perception of how things worked prior to his writings, my hat's off to him. Just goes to show that anything IS POSSIBLE. Enjoy.......................
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC Review: Every time I visit Logan airport in Boston I think of his prank of "Out of Order" on bank night deposit sign and the two state cops who actually help him load the deposits from bank customers into his vehicle--which he drives away scot free--the cops never the wiser! Even in the 1990's I have asked the airport paper "Air Travel Journal" to print this one story. They aparently refuse out of direct control of the Mass Port Authority it seems. Many facets of deceit, trickery and simple ways to con. Doubtful much of what went on in this book could occur today--given computer age we live in. All the best to the author.
Rating: Summary: Extremely entertaining and educational! Review: I read this book every 4-5 years, it is by far the most interesting book I've ever picked up.
Rating: Summary: This was a book that I could not put down !!!!!!!! Review: I read this book many years ago and to this day I tell all my friends about it. I have bought approximately 8 of these books and every time I loaned them out I have not gotten them back. Guess that is my fault. I am looking for another one right now and this one will STAY at my home. I have read it on several occasions and I loved it each time I read it. This man had way to much free time on his hands and now has his own business that he earned the hard way. It is a must to read and I think you will agree that you will not forget it after you read it. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Golly How The Truth Will Out Review: I was the Chairman of the Lecture Comittee of the Student Union of University of SC in 1982. We booked Frank Abaganale for a paid speech about his book and exploits. Prior to his appearance we heard rumours that he was not what he said he was. We asked our area Police to run a "rap sheet" on him. Absolutly nothing showed up on it. According to their records he had never been arrested, served time or had a warrant out for his arrest. On the day of his speech we asked him to sign a simple statement that what he was about to say was true. He refused, cancelled the booking and all other dates booked through colleges. He claimed he had no need to defend himself. In our research we could find no records of any of his exploits Believe what you will. The book was a "fun" read.
Rating: Summary: Great Book! It makes you wonder about people! Review: This book is especially interesting to those in the service and hospitality industry. You are constantly being reminded to be careful and use certain procedures and THIS book tells you why. It is funny but true. People do these things every day and many people are never caught.
Rating: Summary: Unrivalled entertainment Review: My comments on the title.'Catch Me If You Can,' swallowed my emotions whole. I ached from laughing. I cried. I felt outraged even. Following my own experiences of interviewing prisoners incarcerated in an middle eastern hell hole - compared to Frank Abagnales' barbaric treatment in Perpignan, France, these cockroach infested holding cells were a breeze by comparison. The book should be made compulsory reading for all 2nd level college students. Frank's hilarious escapades left me slackjawed. No one single literary work assaulted my emotions as did 'Catch Me If You Can.' Unrivalled entertainment that will not only amuse but inflame the passions of human rights protestors the world over....
