  <default_description>In this harrowing illumination of the psychotic mind, the enviable Tom Ripley has a lovely house in the French countryside, a beautiful and very rich wife, and an art collection worthy of a connoisseur. But such a gracious life has not come easily. One inopportune inquiry, one inconvenient friend, and Ripley's world will come tumbling down--unless he takes decisive steps. In a mesmerizing novel that coolly subverts all traditional notions of literary justice, Ripley enthralls us even as we watch him perform acts of pure and unspeakable evil.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Disappointing.  I don't get this story.  I kept waiting for things to fall into place and tie together.  Ripley has definitely evolved.  He seems more the confident fat cat in this book.  But his relationship with Bernanrd, which is at the heart of the story, is inexplicable to me.

    <body><![CDATA[The cold blooded Mr. Ripley bungles his way through a series of crimes, succeeding through the force of his charming, repellent personality. Or does he? The ending is left open. (Of course, having read RIPLEY UNDERWATER, I know that he is successful, but had I read this when it first came out, the e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13313608">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Tom Ripley is perhaps my favorite psychopath. 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) simpl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30420141">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My favorite of the 5 Tom Ripley books!<br/>This time Ripley goes to Salzburg (which inspired me to explore Salzburg) and tries to find a friend who is an artist.<br/>The 3rd sequel is &quot;Ripley's Game&quot;, the 4th is &quot;The Boy who followed Ripley&quot; and the last one is &quot;Ripley und...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great for the questions it inspires, which are strange, almost misshapen ones.  Not as good as the original Ripley or Strangers on a Train; but you can feel Highsmith building here.  It's still a quick and powerful read.  I'm eager for the next one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Its so sick its almost funny.  Again, its an unbelievable story from hanging effagies to a murder complacent wife.  You won't be able to put it down.  At the end you'll curse Ripley for making you for hope he doesn't get caught.  Good beach reading.]]></body>
