This was interesting. Tom is a fascinating but despicable character. He does not have the capacity to care about anyone but himself, and finds himself with a boatload of problems of his own making. But yet I wanted to see if/how he'd get himself out of trouble. His relationship with Dickie is interesting and there's definitely some homosexual subtext (or just text) there too. I enjoyed this one. But on the other hand, I don't really have any desire to read more of the Ripley books.
