Title: Doesn't matter the era, still true today...
Review: Being the victim of a conman I found this book to be amazing. No, it wasn't a quick money con but the person I worked for was a confidence man, and what I learned from my experiences in dealing with him first hand and reading this book. Wow, it's fascinating at how no matter the age, the game is the same. This book does get a little redundant in parts. But, the stories, the game that's played, how it's done, those things are all the same and as times evolve so does the hustle. This book gives you an inside look at how the mark is done, the roots of where the modern con extended from, and in all honesty, human nature and how easy it is to get played. Reading this book also gave me some insight into watching the TV show White Collar because a lot of the cons they run there have roots from this book. If you enjoy true crime, and want to know the life of the con, then check it out. It's worth the money.
