Roy and Frankie are matchstick men -- con artists. Partners in elegant crimes for years, they know each other like brothers and have perfected the rules of the game.Roy is the careful one.

Well written in all respects and reads much like a screenplay due to the copious dialog, flashback elements etc. The adaptation to screen is identical to the book and like any good story, there's a nice twist at the end. Fast read and entertaining too! ( )

Quick read. Read this through in one sitting. I really enjoyed it, but wish I had not seen the movie before reading the book since I feel I missed out on the impact of the big reveal at the end.

Garcia's writing style was great. The dialogue was believable and he had a great sense of humor. I loved the main character in this book. He is a lot funnier than Nic Cage portrayed him in the movie. The story is compelling and the details of the cons are very interesting.

I would more than likely read this again in the future, and I would definitely recommend it. ( )

This is one example of a book where the movie was more dramatic. It was still a decent plot though. ( )

The Stichting Overal in Nijmegen cleared out some shelves. I received part of the books from hema-verf in a book box in Castricum. Thanks!

Did not see the movie (or maybe I did) and did not read the book (I know that for sure), so this one will stay a while.
