Stephanie Neve (104 KP) rated Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake in Books

Jul 30, 2019

A witty and interesting tale of the life of an American check swindler (0 more)

An abrupt ending left me wanting more. (0 more)

I really enjoyed this book and read it in a very short space of time. It was interesting hearing the minutiae of how he performed his heists.

He was very woman obsessed though. It reads very 60's sexist but otherwise a fun read!

"I’ve read The Vacationers and Modern Lovers, both in the summer. Emma Straub's books are like a rosé wine served best while the sun shines, bright and bubbling. Her quick wit and compulsively readable plots make her books perfect summer reads. All Adults Here is no exception. It is a story about families, love and forgiveness that you can read in a single sitting."

"“I love that book. It’s clever, that book, because the environmental that they’re living in is so unremittingly pessimistic that he’s able to weave this extraordinarily sentimental story about the love between father and son and completely get away with it. The end speech that the dying father gives his son about carrying the fire … if you take that out of context it reads completely differently."

This is a collection of four stories although the first one is my favourite. As always with short stories, there is a lot of information given and things happen very quickly but still this is a good collection! If you like dragons and fantasy/paranormal reads then I recommend this one.
