Frank William Abagnale Jr. was born in the Bronx, New York City, on April 27, 1948. He became involved in a host of crimes... stealing cars, wracking up credit card debt, impersonating a pilot, cashing fraudulent checks. This memoir is really interesting, as it gets you inside the mind of a (largely) white collar criminal. This was also made into a movie feature Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Overall, it was an alright read, and I am glad to have it off my shelf.
