This was a very well written book. I found myself in suspense from the first thought of murder until the last line. I also found that I was in fear of Tom Ripely being caught. I would at times remind myself of his villainy but I would inevitable find myself hoping he would escape and cursing the mistakes that he made.
This is the first in a series of books containing this character which are no doubt as thrilling. I despise him so much though that I don't think I can endure another. Definitely a must read for anyone that can appreciate a good suspense! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3702953 On Man in the Universe (Hardcover) by Aristotle

Work stuff. Not exciting unless you're responsible for knowing it so people don't die. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2977057 to: The Prestige (Paperback) by Christopher Priest
If you enjoy sci-fi suspense this is a good book. The chapters are all first person accounts from the major characters. Priest is good at shifting writing style, emotion and point of view for each character. Throughout the book you find yourself sympathizing with each character and despising the other. The ending was abrupt and left you to draw a number of your own conclusions which is both good and bad. Had I not seen the movie I may have been confused but as it was the true mastery of the book is in its order. You find yourself totally on the side of one of the characters until you find what had been happening all along.
