bookbeforeuleap 's review for:

The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
4.0

I have found this one to be rather hard to review/rate as there were parts that I absolutely loved and raced through but other parts where I was a little bored and didn't want to pick it up again.

I thought the premises was brilliant and I really enjoyed how it was set in New York and then Italy but I found the main character rather whiny and I thought some of the ways he got out of things were rather long winded.

Over all an easy read and I will definitely be reading more from the author
