Ripley was not super likeable to me, but I like watching reading as he waxed and waned from pathetic to a predator. This is a really well-crafted story that is bittersweet for both readers who cheer him on, or pray for his downfall.

The movie adaptation of this book has a queerer lens and focus. This book is more focused on classism and materialism._zrtx_'s review against another edition
