The writing was easy to understand and portrayed Mr.Ridley in a very person and realistic way ? It made it really interesting to read through situations from his perspective

I remember watching the film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, & Gwyneth Paltrow years ago, so being able to picture the actors as the characters helped bring them to life. Tom seems to be a sociopath, his inner monologues & disregard for anyone he feels he cannot use is well-documented here. There are brief homophobic remarks & Tom seems ill at ease with his sexuality, but bearing in mind that Hollywood's leading gay men were still marrying women at this point, it seems likely that Tom would perhaps have trouble reconciling his sexuality. He seems almost asexual at times.
I thought it was a great read and I have every intention of reading the rest of the series.
