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

dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It was an interesting and well-written book but ultimately the unlikeable main character made it a little hard for me to be invested in the book. If you like crime novels, it is worth a read because it is different than others in the genre.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Violence and Murder

the main character is disturbed and selfish, hard to read the book from his point of view at times
