With the new Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley out (which I haven't watched yet), I guess the Ripliad is back in the zeitgeist. I am finally reading Ripley Under Ground, the second book in the five book series about Thomas Ripley. It was written about fifteen years after the first, which is rarely a good sign for a sequel, but we'll see.

Sure, I believe that

I’m a big fan of  Patricia Highsmith’s novels + the fact that Andrew Scott will be the next Tom Ripley = this. 

I'm not sure if it's a book cover or a poster yet.

‘Ripley Under Ground’, by Patricia Highsmith

I found that when I read ‘Ripley Under Ground’, written by Patricia Highsmith; it took me quite a few chapters for me to become hooked.  Personally, I felt this book a tad bit boring up until I had gotten to Chapter 16. Beyond Chapter 16, I could not help but want to read more and so I did, I continued until the end.

The twists that the story included were really good, and kept me wanting to discover more. Whenever I put the book down (to cook/ clean etc), I was often left wondering of what would happen next? what was Ripley going to do about the situation that he was facing? is he going to get caught?

I began imagining ideal solutions - then when I read on, I was WOWED by how it had actually turned out.  

One example of what I had thought towards the end, was that when Tom Ripley had caught up with Bernard Tufts; they would have a deep conversation with Bernard stating how he killed Derwatt and that this is why he always felt that he needed to impersonate Derwatt.  This responsibility leaving him with lots of guilt and a head full of depression.  To my surprise, Highsmith took the story on a completely different route.

I highly recommend that any new reader whom is interested in Crime/ Thriller novels (or any books in general), goes ahead and reads Patricia Highsmiths amazing work.  So far I have read ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ and as discussed above ‘Ripley Under Ground’ and they have both been fantastic reads.

What are other people’s thoughts?

I just watched The Talented Mr. Ripley and I think it’s the saddest and the sickest movie ever. T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
