Catch Me If You Can is the true story of Frank W. Abagnale—alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams, and Robert Monjo—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 sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks—all before he was twenty-one. Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the lam—until the law caught up with him. Now recognized as the nation’s leading authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose hilarious, stranger-than-fiction international escapades and ingenious escapes make Catch Me If You Can an irresistible tale of deceit.

An excellent performance of a gripping narrative

Barrett Whitener does a great job with the material in this book. His voices and inflections felt spot on in most cases and I really enjoyed the story. I am a bit disappointed that the book didn't include the epilogue which the print editions do, but I suppose this is a problem with epilogues, they may come months or years after the book is published.
The lessons that are imparted (don't be overly trusting, check references, know how the system works) are still relevant but the technology in the stories is outdated so this could either be taken as a cautionary tale or simply enjoyed as a real-life thriller. Either way, thoroughly enjoyable.
