Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake by Frank W. Abagnale
3.0
It's hilarious to go from finishing this book to reading the actual wiki article about this guy, which has numerous citations about how this is a bunch of lies, gross exaggerations, and stretches of truth.
all that aside - looking at this as just a story, and not parsing through the (very limited) plausibility of it all - this is a fun book. I would've given it four stars, but the ending was just unsatisfying and not what I expected it to be. and also, the movie was way better. just watch that instead. it's got Tom Hanks and Leonardo Dicaprio, you can't go wrong.
