  1. Abagnale's got some discrepancies... on Catch Me If You Can · · Score: 1

    Fantastic book. Amazing book. An inspiration to all. However...., I first heard of Mr. Abagnale when a friend of mine suggested I grab a rather huge mp3 from his FTP site. It turns out that his father had gone to see Frank Abagnale at a big speaking engagement and had recorded the whole thing with a dictaphone. So moved by Abagnales words was he that several years after the fact he had his son, (my friend) convert it to mp3 before the tapes were lost. The mp3 was enthralling. As soon as I'd heard it I knew I had to read the complete story myself. This is where it became a little disappointing - between the mp3 I'd heard of Frank Abagnale at a speaking engagement and the story of his misadventures, there were a great number of discrepancies leaving one to wonder, in which version of his story was he more forthright & truthfull? I dunno... -"On the note that I just wrote, stay afloat on the reality boat". -TCQ
