I felt guilty reading this book. There's not much edifying about a book about a guy who counterfeits...except that the story has all the elements of a great Italian opera, minus the fat lady singing. There's crime, betrayal, family intrigue, the mafia, heists, love and romance, narrow escapes, and a constantly uncertain outcome. Oh, and lots of money...fake money and real. These guys spend it like it's going out of fashion, like they could just make more. Which I guess was the whole point, right?

Anyway, all that may be enough to make the story worth reading, especially knowing it's a true story.

I didn't finish the book, but that was only because I was reading it between others, and when I tried to renew it from the library someone else had placed a hold on it.

Redelijk onbevooroordeeld verhaal. Goed leesbaar.

A fascinating (and true!) tale of a young man from a broken home who finds joy in becoming a craftsman of a dying art: counterfeiting money. In perfectly replicating the new $100 bill he reunites with his estranged father, with terrible consequences for both.

Art Williams' story is a thrilling one. The book takes the reader through Art's life in the Bridgeport projects of Chicago to Alaska, where his estranged father lives.

The book glorifies Williams, ignoring many of the moral quandaries presented by his crimes. Still, it's a fun read, and the counterfeiting techniques Art used are detailed and fascinating.
