[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’m one of the very few people who has read each and every one[/b] of the Ripley novels. I also loved the movie, even though it took very different turns from the book. So I was thrilled to see there was going to be this series…

Unwatchable. 100% unwatchable. Long, slow, boring, no need for the black and white, miscast, wrong tone, trying to shoehorn in diversity in a way that serves absolutely no one and does nothing for the plot. It’s a no. So disappointed. [/quote]

I doubt that. But if it makes the narcissist feel special to say it, go ahead. [/quote]

Oh, did I miss where another person on this thread has read all the novels? Didn’t think so. They weren’t all successful or popular. I’ve taken college-level genre writing classes where the professor hadn’t even read all of them, and there was a section on Highsmith. You can’t even find all of them in specialty bookstores. You have to really hunt some of them down.

Have you even read one? Or did you just watch the ‘90s movie like most people who are familiar with the title? [/quote]

I was the agent to another writer who has adapted Highsmith's work. We're not all pot washers here, darling. [/quote]
