The Art Of The Heist: Confessions Of A Master Thief (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

This read has to be taken with a grain of salt given Connor's criminal history. It would have been more interesting if he had explored the emotional/psychological side behing his crimes along with the motivations he had in having chosen this path. Although well written and ripe with eventful descriptions, it's hard to not cringe at Connor's bragging and enormous ego. Thankfully, the fluidity of his storytelling holds it together. I saw this book on sale for $6 and decided to take a shot. I was plesantly suprised, it was definatley worth the cost and then some. There were a couple of spots that seemed inaccurate; for example on one heist they are stealing 2 paintings that are worth $450K together then they decide to take a couple turn of the century clocks that are supposed to be priceless and they then say the total take was almost a half million dollars?? Other than a few of these type of "adjustments" it was a good read and a great story.

What do You think about The Art Of The Heist: Confessions Of A Master Thief (2009)?

Dad HATED this one! The guy thought he was SSOO cool and apparently it was pretty sickening.

Ugh. I've been slimed. Tons of syntax errors on top of the degenerate story.
—nicobnico

Zero stars. More an ego trip than an expose to how he committed his heists.
—red17racing

Very entertaining. Sometimes you wonder if it is really true.
