Tom Ripley is a young man who lives in America with the economical support of his auntie. A friend of him, Mr.Greenleaf, asks him to go to Europe, in Italy with his son because Mr.Greenleaf, wants his son to return to the USA. The trip to Italy and the hotel are paid by Mr.Greenleaf. It results that the son don't want to return, and Tom, that is phisycally so simile to Dickie's Greenleaf kills him in a little ship of two persons and takes his place in the world, spending his money and wearing his clothes, but for keep living Dickie's life he has to avoid Dickie's girlfriend and friends because they are able to recognize him better than the other people, so he starts to trave and awnser correctly the questions of the police about Dickie's murders as Tom Ripley. Tom has to kill a friend of Dickie and avoid be found guilty.
Finnaly Tom makes a false gives all his possessions to Tom, and in this way Tom become rich.
Opinion:
It's an original novel because the main character is not like the ones the books use to have, instead of that, he is a murderer without mercy but despite of that youy want him to succeed and to fool the police.
The plot is right but I think that if the police had done the investigations in the same waythey do in real life, they'll had found Tom guilty.
