Book Reviews of The Big Con: The Story of the Confidence Man

Book Review: Let down
Summary: 2 Stars

I tried for ages to get this book and was gutted when it turned up as it was mediocre. I put it down a few pages from the end, just couldn't be bothered. Too bad, I was really looking forward to it.
