Even though he is frighteningly amoral, I still find myself somehow rooting for him as he murders his “best friend”, engages in art forgery (and commits murder to cover it up), plays with the lives of others (and murders some of them of course) simply because he feels he was snubbed, indulges in a lot of sexually ambiguous behavior, and generally plays a game of cat-and-mouse with anyone who crosses his path. (  ) zenosbooks | Feb 23, 2009 |  This is the best on of the series I think. Also see the movie starring John Malkovich. Masterly. (  ) gwilym.eades | Jun 21, 2008 | Really great.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679745688, Paperback)Connoisseur of art, harpsichord aficionado, gardener extraordinaire, and genius of improvisational murder, the inimitable Tom Ripley finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a posh gala. While an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, what Ripley has in mind is far more subtle, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course-- just a chain of events that may lead to it.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
