would be interesting only to people, who study scripts seriously, who love Minghella's art, and who love the film itself. This particular script was not meant to stand on its own, unlike some scripts from other great films. It was only meant to be Minghella's subjective and brief overview of what he is going to create for the screen. I bought it because I was curious to compare written word with what I have seen on the film. This book has lyrics of "Lullaby for Cain" and full cast list, though, which is a nice touch...

The book was better than the movie. I think the movie was too soapy. The ending was not conclusive

After seeing this film I was quick to jump to the conclusion that the screenplay would be just as good. I am pleased to report that I was correct! As a read, Ripley is captivating and diabolical. The words finely link together the voices and faces that I loved in the film. Anthony Minghella has such a remarkable gift! First English Patient, now Ripley! All I really have to say about this screenplay is that it is honey--rich, sweet, and easy to swallow. You'll love it!

Some people seem to be under the impression that this is a novel that has been adapted from the film, which it is not. This is Anthony Minghella's SCREENPLAY for his film which he adapted from the novel, and it is excellent. As a filmmaker I enjoy reading the screenplays for films that I like and anyone who enjoys reading screenplays will love this because it is a wonderful adaptation that proves the key to a great film is a great script.

A novelization of a movie that was based on a book? Does anyone else find this to be an incomprehensible waste of trees? You'd do better to read the original - it's by Patricia Highsmith -, and here's hoping that the author makes no money out of this bizarre endeavor.
