Wow, this book was INFINTELY better than the movie! (No shade intended; the movie is absolute perfection.)
I loved Highsmith's writing style and her ability to capture the human psyche of Tom Ripley. Oddly enough, you end up sort of rooting for him and also being amazed at what he does next.
Very twisty and gripping. I liked it so much that I'm so curious to see how the rest of the series plays out. Can't wait to read them all!
(Also, I love the inherent homosexual undertones. Chef's kiss!)
