The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can by Alan C. Logan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Frank W. Abagnale’s story has been so widely read and even turned into movies and books. This book will take us behind the scenes, on how Frank was able to pull this all off, the people he duped and even the ones who helped him along willingly. Starting from a young age, Frank Abagnale turned his brilliant mind to manipulating others around him into giving him what he wanted, and making it seem like it was their idea. Think of how often movies cut scenes to fit time constraints and you can imagine just how many plots of Franks are in tis book.
There are no clear winners or losers in this book, and I find the story truly fascinating, even more so than the famous movie “Catch me if you can” from 2002. Very well written and edited, the story moved along quickly, and it was easy to follow along, while still keeping some of the mystery alive in some spots.
