Our group, Purp Nighthawk, has decided upon Catch Me If You Can as our independent reading book for this project. This book was written by Stan Redding and Frank W. Abagnale. Frank W. Abagnale is actually the main character in the book because it is a"true crime" story in which the authors story of his life of crime is told. The book is 277 pages in total which is almost 90 pages each section when broken down into three equal sections. This is a very good amount of reading for each section and will break up well. The story of the book is captivating because of its true crime genre, one reviewer of the book on amazon stated, "A book that captivates from first page to last"(-//West Coast Review of Books).//

This book is a great book and has received tons of great reviews. The book goes in depth with the American government and the way it works and how to go around it. It also shows many signs of trancendentalism because the kid leaves everything that he has been around and everything that he thought was the right way of life and went out on his own and went against the governments beliefs. Frank W. Abagnale explains how he did all of these thing and the story behing how he cheated the government is an absolute amazing story. Just by watching the movie people want to read the book because everyone knows that books are much more better then movies and this book will show us and prove to us that is a true statement.

The book catch me if you can has been called a thriller. The fact that its about a guy single handedly robbed the government for a ton of money is impressive. It’s a page turner knowing that at any chance the thief could get caught and punished extremely harshly. It’s a great book to read because its really hard to get bored when your always wondering what is happening next. The thief combines many elements such as stunning planning and precise execution to complete the theft. Its actually amazing to think about how hard it is to rob the government and this guy did it flawlessly until the final day he got caught. You won't want to stop reading until you find out the thiefs final destiny. Whether that be wealth and fame or prison and infamy.

Catch Me If You Can is a great book for the whole family. It keeps readers on the edge of their seats and always keeps the readers interested on what the charcters are doing. It shows the trouble the main character goes through to steal the money from the government.

While this book may contain some "distasteful" language it is really an intriguing story that conveys the human experience, I mean its not like we haven't heard these words before and they add to the drama and intensity of the book "catch me if you can" another thing that is a little risque in the book there are a few parts that have sexual themes, i feel this is also appropriate because its a part of life. and again its not like its something we haven't seen or heard of before. thank you and i hope you approve this mind boggling page turning thriller.
