Je n'ai pas arrêté de parler de ce livre à mon entourage, "ce mec il est incroyable... Dans le sens négatif. Il est comme Frank Abegnale dans attrape moi si tu peux mais en pire". Et maintenant il est devenu un bon catho et il est en liberté :0.
Holy cow, this guy! It's hard to believe that nobody ever caught him in his lies... Except perhaps in 1993. He's like Frank Abegnale from Catch me if you can but worse. And now he's been released and he's supposedly a good Catholic now...sure.
I'm hesitating between 3&4 stars because it's not a masterpiece but the author sucks you in to the story from the beginning!
