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....

Rating: Summary: Excellent and exciting read. Review: I actually met Mr. Abagnale in Baton Rouge, LA in the late eighties at a business meeting. Mr. Abagnale was the key-note speaker. He was just as charming then as he is in his book. I read the book three times. Each time I read the book it was as exciting as the first. I love his persistance, courage and humor. He is truely the king of imposters. I wish I could find my copy. You must read it.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't Put it Down Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. Being a police officer, the stunts that this guy pulled off are absolutely intriguing to me. You have to respect the guy for the guts he had.
Rating: Summary: Cop couldn't put con artist's book down. What a story! Review: Knowing the "system" from the inside--it was incredible, but not unbelievable that he was able to do what he did. Stayed up 'til 4AM reading to the end. Left me begging for a sequel. Whata movie it will make. The pathetic part is the truth--"if it looks, quacks and walks like a duck..it's a duck...probably!"
Rating: Summary: GREAT READ ! Review: it is the kind of person you always wanted to be but didn't have the ####s to do it !!!!! just buy it ,you'll read it again and again ( more than your playboys)
Rating: Summary: spielburg to make into film Review: Marvelous book and story. Amazing person to read about and meet in person. I spoke with him personally yesterday 5/29/98 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He related that this great story and book is being made into a movie that will be produced by Stephen Spielburg. Knowing who will finally make the movie makes me believe that it will be true to the book and the story line as accurately as possible.
Rating: Summary: enjoyable but suspect Review: A most exciting and enjoyable book but I think there has been quite a bit of creativity used. I'm sure the truth could stand on its own, but a great read anyway.......from an airline pilot who knows more than Frank about the system
Rating: Summary: excellent-rewarding-stimulating Review: I guess this is what can happen when an intelligent person can be innovative resourceful with imagination.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic and Incredible! Review: This book is wonderful! Prepare to be amazed - this is a person who faked being a pediatrician, a lawyer, a pilot, and even an FBI agent! He now teaches others how NOT to be scammed - I have heard him speak three times (twice for the American Bankers Assn, and once for the Aid Assn. for Lutherans), and he is never dull. GET THIS BOOK!
