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.

Comments: Fascinating, holy cow this guy was crazy! I totally enjoyed this book even-though Frank toots his own horn quite a bit ( but seriously the man had skills). The subject matter of this book is obviously immoral and there are a few extra immoralities on top of that but the subject doesn't really bother me because it is the truth, what one man did and how he paid for it. I wouldn't read this book again but it was really interesting.
