Katie’s #26 #CBR4 Review: The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
The Talented Mr. Ripley is not a book I would have picked up on my own for fear it would be too dark. However, I’ve been enjoying doing group reads a lot and this was the next book for the Constant Reader Group on Goodreads. The book tells the story of Ripley, a man sent to Europe to talk an acquaintance into returning to the United States. Instead, he begins desperately wishing he has his acquaintance’s life and even murder won’t prevent our amoral protagonist from achieving his goals. I’m sure you can see why I was worried about it being too dark!

I’d like to give you some sort of internet reward for your use of the Hamburglar. Mostly because I’m now picturing Matt Damon punching him in the face on a boat. I’d totally watch that movie.
Hahaha, yes. The hamburglar picture was actually a glitch – I thought the link I used went to the book cover! – but I also thought it was more fun what way so I didn’t pick a new cover picture 🙂
