Title: Duped Pdf Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married
Abby Ellin was shocked to learn that her fiancé was leading a secret life. But as she soon discovered, the world is full of people who aren't what they seem.
From Abby Ellin's first date with the commander, she was caught up in a whirlwind. Within six months, he'd proposed and they'd moved in together. But soon, his exotic stories of international espionage began to unravel. Finally, it all became clear: He was lying about who he was.
After leaving him and sharing her story, she was floored to find out that her experience was far from unique. People everywhere, many of them otherwise sharp-witted and self-aware, are being deceived by their loved ones every day.
In Duped, Abby Ellin studies the art and science of lying, talks to people who've had their worlds upended by duplicitous partners, and writes with great openness about her own mistakes. These remarkable stories reveal how often we encounter people whose lives beneath the surface are more improbable than we ever imagined.
Think you can't be Duped. Think again. Abby Ellin tells such a riveting story of being duped, you won't be able to put her new book down. What I love is she doesn't blame and shame. When a woman is conned, everyone blames the victim. But Ellin doesn't. She tackles the trauma of being duped with empathy. This isn't just her story; she uses her reporting chops to tell other people's stories too, including that of double agent Kim Philby's treachery. I gobbled it up.Riveting Read--and Chock Full of Information Even if you've never been duped, you've got to wonder about what motivates those conmen and why anyone would fall for their antics. Well, wonder no more. This is no con when i tell you that Ellin is a witty and smart writer. You'll be gripped by the narrative and intrigued by the science of it all.Hey Jon Ronson, there's a new kid on your block. Watch out! First, I listened to this on audiobook and enjoyed the narrator immensely. And thank you, publisher, for releasing this as a CD, a format that has fallen out of favor. Digital is fine if you listen anywhere but I only listen in my car. Digital is a pain and dangerous there. But I digress...I'm a big fan of well-researched non-fiction books in which the author plays a key role in the journey, like Jon Ronson's work. I instantly fell for Abby Ellin's DUPED. Her riveting story is merely the springboard for a much deeper look at the subject of duplicity both large and seemingly small. I found myself re-listening to portions so I could accurately recall them to friends. This would be an excellent book club read.
