From Library Journal
To coincide with the premiere of the paperback publication of 1992's Ripley Under Water ( LJ 10/1/92), Vintage is releasing a brace of Highsmith's earlier adventures of Ripley, the cordial young man with the talent for murder. Dubbed "especially brilliant" by LJ 's reviewer, Ripley's Game ( LJ 5/1/74) finds the protagonist continually bungling a hit, while The Boy Who Followed Ripley ( LJ 5/1/80) finds him trying to protect a young man on the run after murdering his wealthy father.

The Best Ripley since the First!,
Von
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Boy Who Followed Ripley (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) (Taschenbuch)
I'm working my way through the Ripley series (am currently into number five), and I think that *The Boy who Followed Ripley* is the best since *The Talented Mr. Ripley.* (Though the second and third in the series are well worth the read, and besides, I wouldn't recommend skipping them, since they provide background essential for fully appreciating the later novels.) What a great character Tom Ripley is! We've seen it in previous books, but here we see a lot of the tender side of Tom, who is really affected by his relationship with the boy Frank. I also find his relationships with his shady cronies interesting--they'll break the law regularly, but there is indeed some honor in their relations with one another.The action of the book is indeed slow, as another reviewer mentioned, but I was struck while reading it by how tense an atmosphere the author managed to create without so much action. Always a sense of foreboding. Again, as another reviewer mentioned, the action that does occur is perhaps not as well described as it might be. I at least was confused about precisely what went on in the apartment, the big action scene: the bad guys were going this way and that, and seemed to give up without a fight, but I didn't quite understand everything. Didn't detract from my enjoyment of the novel, however. And before I log off I'll be ordering some non-Ripley Highsmith novels.

Can Ripley Be Successfully Emulated by Others?,
Von Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 110,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (TOP 500 REZENSENT)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Boy Who Followed Ripley (Taschenbuch)
The Boy Who Followed Ripley will either be your favorite Ripley book or it will be a large disappointment.If you have not read any Ripley books, I suggest that you start with The Talented Mr. Ripley instead. Those who will be disappointed by this book will be people who wanted a book just like one of the first three in the series. Those who will be very pleased are those who want to think through the implications of Ripley's character and who he is becoming. I have graded the book as an average of the two likely reactions. We see a new side of Ripley in this book. He takes a troubled American teen under his wing and mentors him in the way that a friendly uncle or much older brother might. In the process, Ripley reveals more of himself to the boy than to anyone else. Ripley also ends up musing and seeing his own marriage and history in a new light as he understands the boy's problems. I'm sorry that I cannot go into the story in more detail. To do so would simply spoil the plot development for you. If you like character development with long stretches of little plot development, this book will be a lot of fun. If you crave the constant action of The Talented Mr. Ripley, this book will drag slowly in long sections for you. Unless you are ambivalent about the Tom Ripley character, I do suggest that you read the book . . . even if it won't be your favorite.

Ripley For Once Doesn't Murder,
Von
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Boy Who Followed Ripley (Taschenbuch)
This is a strange book and yet vintage Highsmith. Ripley is shown as a humanitarian, amicable, and resourceful character whose only fault it is to harbor a murderer. The boy himself at first appears a pleasant college-type young man, without direction, a drifter as there are so many resulting from a mindless American education. Even the boy's confession makes you believe it is not quite genuine and you have to doubt its veracity until the very end. Ripleys relationship to the boy is also left in limbo. There are high homoerotic overtones in Ms Highsmith's description but fall short of Ripley's falling in love or even sleeping with the boy, Mr Ripley in his calculated sympathy does everything to make the boy feel his deed, if indeed it was one, is appreciated as understandable if not indeed valuable. In the subtext, however, and here the book is masterfully construed, Mr Ripley is the true murderer as he understands the boy's crime as a suicide wish which he fosters. The introduction of this boy to Mr Ripley's standard cronies and a few new ones, to the Berlin gay transvestite scene and to the condoning Madame Ripley in her smug bourgeoisity, are masterworks of matching the unmatchable. In sum, it is an unexpected but great work from Ms Highsmith's pen.
