  • killer who wants to be loved

    Complexity of the character that is Tom Ripley is well contracted by the author. Ripley wants to get along despite failing due to his upbringing. He would kill to savour and enjoy the finer things in life.

  • Wanted to read this book but have passed it on to a friend as I'm used to reading on a kobo so print to small but found a new home anyway.

  • Better than both (excellent) films

    Established classic thoroughly deserving of its reputation. First read it in my 20s now I'm in my 70s and it's even better. Nice price!

  • Can't go wrong

    Can't go wrong with Patricia Highsmith. I actually think she doesn't get enough coverage. One of the best.
