Mr Matheson's Book of the Week: Catch Me If You Can

'Catch Me If You Can', is an American novel published in 1980 and follows the life of Frank Abagnale (alias Robert Conrad, alias Frank Adams, alias Robert Monjo) who before his 19th birthday, successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana prosecutor. Pursued by the FBI, this adventurous, first-person narrative has a 1940s detective feel to it, and delivers some cheeky thrills and VERY funny laughs along the way. This novel falls into the Middle/Senior grade fiction category and I really enjoyed it. It was fast-paced, with some really great edge-of-your-seat moments.
