I saw the movie when it first came out a few years ago and I wasn't too impressed with the film. Then someone asked me the other day if I was interested in reading the book, I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try. I was surprised how much I really got into it, if you like this type of book, it will become a page turner. No one will be killed, no one will be taken hostage, but you just can't wait to see how he is going to pull off his next big scam and whether or not he's going to caught.

It is amazing to read how this person's mind works, one scam after another, I was amazed. For example, at one point in the book he figures out that he wants to have less questions posed to him from hotel staff in Europe and he decides that having a flight crew would make him seem more authentic as a pilot. While I was reading this, I just couldn't wait to see what went through his mind and how on Earth he thought he could accomplish a flight crew without anyone raising and eyebrow, but he did.
