The protagonist of this book is not good man. The man, Tom Repley was asked to go to Italy by Mr. Greenleaf. He wanted Tom to drag his son, Dickey back to the United States.Then Dickey lived and enjoyed in Italy. Tom was bored with his life in the U.S. So he visited Dickey's house in Italy.Though Tom and Dickey had met each other, Dickey didn't remember who Tom was. But Tom and Dickey became good friends soon, and Tom stayed Dickey's house instead of hotel. They enjoyed playing, drinking and tripping. However, Tom killed Dickey because of a quarrel with Dickey. And Tom decided to pretend to be Dickey. Since then, Tom's new exciting life started.
I think Tom is crazy. He doesn't feel sorry about Dickey. He always worries about himself and gets his own way. I don't know if Tom is really happy after stoling everything from Dickey. We need to make a big effort to make us happy, I think.
I enjoyed reading this book, and I read this for a day. I heard that there are two movies that this story was based on, and there are a little difference between the original book and the movies. I'm going to borrow the DVDs next Thursday! If you have some time, let's try it!
While reading your blog, I think Tom is really bad person, too!! What a bad man! He thinks himself, only.... But I also think I want to read this book.
