Frank Abagnale admits he is (was) a con man and a swindler. In this memoir, he recounts his teenage years spent as a con artist. Frank had brass you-know-whats to even attempt, much less succeed, at some of the capers he pulled off. He traveled the world, seduced beautiful women and wrote thousands of forged checks, usually while impersonating a Pan Am airline pilot. He did short stints impersonating a doctor, a professor, a writer, and a lawyer, among others. (I was especially impressed that the high school dropout studied for and passed the Louisiana bar exam in nine weeks.)
