The Art of Making Money: The Story of a Master Counterfeiter Audiobook

" [Audiobook:] Interesting insights into counterfeiting and criminal life style. "

" This is a fascinating book about a counterfeiter named Art Williams who is a present day master counterfeiter. It will make you examine your money very carefully from now on. "

" This book was just ok for me. I though it would be more interesting since I work in a bank. The background story did drag on a little. I was also expecting more details dealing with the police and law side. I did find it interesting how he made the bills and the strategy he would go through before spending his counterfeit bills. "

" Great true life crime story. This book is especially well developed, as it explores the history that motivates the criminal to his behavior, and ties this behavior to his downfall. Interesting tale. "

" I like Abagnale's story better, but parts of this were interesting. "

" An interesting book in some respects, a true story. The bad language and sexual innuendo was a big detractor. And, it's a terribly sad story of not just one person but several families that destroy their lives by self-defeating behaviors and by being poor parents. If you need evidence why every son needs a decent father, and why parents should stay married, this is a compelling story. "

" I really enjoyed this quick read. Great book to show you, once a criminal, always a criminal. "

" Great story--very strange circumstances and characters. "

" This is a great book, a quick read, about a modern counterfeiter. If you like history, interested in how your childhood affects you more than you can possibly understand at the time, read this book. "

" A fascinating story about a criminal mind. Art Williams is a very smart man with a raging case of father hunger. A page-turner. "

" Fantastic story about a conterfeiter. Starts in Chicago and ends in Anchorage. I highly recommend it. Started reading this morning and finished it this afternoon. "

" could not put this down till after finished all of it.. epilogue is spooky "

" This story of one of the best counterfeiters that the Secret Service has ever had to pursue is a great read! It reads like a very fascinating biography that could very well likely be a Matt Damon movie. Highly recommend. "

" Good story on the education of a counterfitter and some basics on how they go about their business. Good, would have liked more detail. "

" I heard about this on NPR and was intrigued. I am not normally into biographies but I wanted to read this one. It is a quick read with a light pace lots of fun facts about money and counterfeiting thrown in there. I definitely recommend this book. "

" What a fun, fascinating read this is. "

" Thank heavens Adam read 3/4 of it to me aloud and edited all the cursing. It is a fascinating story and loaded with intrigue and interest. Adam and I also enjoyed that the majority of the happenings take place in Chicago, which is a city Adam knows well and loves. "

" could not put this down till after finished all of it.. epilogue is spooky "

" A fun read, especially by a Chicagoan. "

" One of those unfortunate books based on a story that I'm sure was a meaty feature magazine article, but simply didn't have enough to flesh out an entire book. He just wasn't a compelling criminal, nor were his operations genius enough to keep me engrossed. Not worth reading. "

" Another true history that reads like a thriller. "

" Snarky and subversive. Had me holding my cash up to the light. "

" Beautifully written, meticulously researched, vivid and captivating. "
