Today’s book: The Talented Mr. Ripley

I was going to do my usual review/writeup but Bob Wake has beaten me to it. His review is much more eloquent than mine would have been. I wonder if I look anything like Bob Wake…

Ha! Read this great novel and you’ll understand that crack. And yes, Matt Damon starred in the movie version. Roger Ebert has an interesting review that covers the Damon version as well as a review of the French iteration called Purple Noon and starred French great Alain Delon.

Author Patricia Highsmith also wrote four other Ripley novels plus Strangers on a Train, which Alfred Hitchcock made into a stunning film.
