I've been meaning to read this for years and luckily I thought it was worth the wait. I found the themes of obsession and identity really interesting and Tom Ripley is a fascinating main character. While I was never exactly rooting for him, I still found myself occasionally forgetting about his crimes as I became immersed in his life. I obviously knew it was a thriller and I had a rough idea of the story but I found it more stressful than I was anticipating. I've read the blurbs for the others in the series and I don't feel particularly drawn to read them but I'm glad I've at least read this one.
