A review by katherineflitsch_
The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

All well and good but I think I’m at a point where I want to love and root for characters.

Also I wish Tom Ripley was more complicated. And I was always so sure he’d get away with everything, so it wasn’t as tense as I’d hoped.
