Review: Tom Ripley - A Must Read! - Patricia Highsmith's "The Talented Mr. Ripley" is a brilliant deep dive into the mind of a sociopath. The anti-hero, Tom Ripley is perfectly crafted as a conman whom the reader can both despise, yet root for. I only wish I had read this book before the schmaltzier Hollywood version starring Matt Damon appeared on the silver screen. Anne's version is more naturalistic, and deliciously written story, and if I hadn't already seen the movie, this book would have been a real nailbiter. I was so enthralled with this book that I've already begun reading "Ripley Underground". This book is a must-read!
Review: Oh Mr. Ripley - I watched and enjoyed the movie years ago. The book was just as good, though some moments felt drawn out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tom Ripley - A Must Read!
*by J***S on August 29, 2025*

Patricia Highsmith's "The Talented Mr. Ripley" is a brilliant deep dive into the mind of a sociopath. The anti-hero, Tom Ripley is perfectly crafted as a conman whom the reader can both despise, yet root for. I only wish I had read this book before the schmaltzier Hollywood version starring Matt Damon appeared on the silver screen. Anne's version is more naturalistic, and deliciously written story, and if I hadn't already seen the movie, this book would have been a real nailbiter. I was so enthralled with this book that I've already begun reading "Ripley Underground". This book is a must-read!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh Mr. Ripley

I watched and enjoyed the movie years ago. The book was just as good, though some moments felt drawn out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mr Ripley is the crossroad between talent and good luck
*by J***E on February 19, 2010*

One of the reasons I love reading old crime novels is because something like this could never happen in 2010. How beautiful is it to think that you could go from a hum-drum existence to a fantastic life with only good luck and a clever idea? In this book Tom takes over the identiy of Dickie Greenleaf. We've all known a Dickie Greenleaf--someone who just takes everything he has for granted, never having to lift a finger. Most of us have also felt like Tom--someone who feels that they deserve better, tired of working hard and jealous of the Dickie Greenleafs of the world who live their life of leisure and beauty. The scenery of the grimy New York streets and the harsh realites of Tom's family of origin contrasts sharply with the politeness and ease of the Greenleafs and the beauty and freedom of Europe. And Dickie. That's why this novel works-- there are alot more Toms then Dickies. Highsmith shows us through Tom's ancedotes and thoughts how pitful he is inside and how he hungers for love and acceptance. There is no question that Tom is a textbook sociopath, but because you UNDERSTAND why he does the things he does, you really want him to get away with it. We never really get inside Dickie's head. We just see him through the eyes of Tom so we don't care too much for him. We see him as Tom sees him--a means to an end. Every time Tom almost gets caught in his treachery Highsmith creates this terrible anxiety in the book and you can really feel the anxiety Tom feels and you don't want him to get caught. You want him to get away with the horrible things he's done. For some reason, Highsmith's character is able to manipulate us into believeing that what's he's done is okay. The ends jusify the means. You feel like Tom deserves and can appreciate what Dickie has in a way Dickie doesn't. It's a strange feeling to side with the bad guy but you do. I have not seen the movie and I'm really glad I read this book first. Even though there are five books in the series, and you go into this book KNOWING he's going to get away with it she still has you holding your breath until the last few pages of the book. Read this book! This book is good and I would recommened it to anyone. Easy and fast read because it's intresting.
