cathepsut's review against another edition
5.0
I read the Ripley books many years ago, long before the pretty good movie The Talented Mr Ripley with Matt Damon. I think I've seen a movie version of Ripley's Game as well, with John Malkovitch, but don't remember much if it.
It was the first time that I encountered a hero that was so unapologetically bad and very likeable to boot. As far as I remember, these books are not high octane or extremely suspenseful, they are more character studies than thrillers and very well written.
