3.75✨I really enjoyed this one. Like really really enjoyed. It kept me engaged, managed to maintain my curiosity until the end althought it took me a bit of time to actually finish it (that’s just because my time for reading is quite limited lately due to work). This is the first book of a series that I’ve been meaning to read for quite some time (glad to finally be able to start it). It follows Will Graham, a profiler working with the FBI, trying to catch a serial killer nicknamed The Tooth Fai...

احتمالاً اکثراً در مورد دنیای هانیبال می‌دونن. برای اونهایی که نمی‌دونن و هیچ تجربه‌ای نداشتن به نظرم بهتره به ترتیب اول فیلم سکوت‌ بره‌ها رو ببینین، بعد برید سراغ سریال. فیلم که شاهکاره و حرفی برای گفتن نیستسریال هم عالـــیه و بخش بسیار خوبی از کتاب اژدهای سرخ رو توی فصل سوم، با کیفیت بالا پوشش می‌دهبعد اگر خواستید در مورد شخصیت دلرهاید بیشتر بدونید، می‌تونین سراغ این کتاب بیاینو اینکه فکر نکنم نیاز باشه فیلم سال 2001 رو ببینین، مگه اینکه خیلی هاپکینز رو دوست داشته باشینترجمه و ویراستاری هم اصل...

Red Dragon opens to Will Graham on the beach behind his Florida home, his wife and stepson close by. But it's the visiting Jack Crawford who holds Will's attention at the moment. Within these first pages you come to understand the recent violent history of Graham's past with the FBI. That he has taken a life and nearly lost his own to the hands of the Hannibal Lecter we shouldn't yet know (but of course we do since this book was written in 1981); that Graham has removed himself from that past – ...

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is the first in the Hannibal Lector series. My god what a creepy start it is.The addiction for this book starts right from the first page and keeps you gripped untill the last, we only get snippets of Hannibal and when he does show you can just feel the chills forming 😲Francis Dolarhyde (red dragon ) is a terrible and despicable,creepy psychopath (which nobody wants to meet ) but doesn't have that lector way about him.This is a sinister, heart palpitating book which ...

5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Back in 1981, Thomas Harris introduced us to a character that will be well known for generations to come. Dr. Hannibal Lecter is this character and he’s been involved with multiple books, movies and a now a TV show.Red Dragon first brings us this character after being caught by FBI profiler, Will Graham. Dr. Lecter is living in isolation while in prison and Will Graham needs his help.Another serial killer is on the loose and Graham must go confront Lecter to get help understan...

I wish I'd read the book, before watching the movies. About half-way through the novel, my copy of Manhunter came crashing through the letterbox. The dvd incorporated a 54-page booklet: Michael Mann's HeadGames by Steven Paul Davies.Contents: Introduction. The Making of the Film. An Interview with Brian Cox.The Thomas Harris Sequels.Michael Mann - Cult Hero.Michael Mann Filmography. Manhunter Credits. Ex-FBI Profiler, Will Graham, is dragged out of early retirement, when a second family is slain...

Loved this book. This book is vivid and very memorable. It precedes Silence of the Lambs, (another great read). A movie, Manhunter was based on this book. Michael Mann directed (love Mann movies). Its a great movie but the book, as always, was better. The point of view of the antagonist was beautifully realized and that's what made the book so chilling. The chase of the antagonist--the hunt kept me reading long into the night. The way Harris slowly layered in the clues was brilliant. The method ...

Now that I’ve just finished reading this book, I feel the need to scrub parts of my brain with steel wool for the purpose of removing certain scenes that Thomas Harris has so rudely embedded there. Thanks a bunch Tom!Will Graham has the rotten luck at being really good at his job. He is a profiler for the FBI and while he was on the job catching Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Lecter caught him with a big sharp knife. Will decides that was enough for him, so he makes the wise decision to retire. But nooo! ...

I recall reading somewhere once of Stephen King - a typically and not always kindly outspoken opinionist - commenting that Harris could tell a darn good story, but he was a lousy writer. When I began this book, I guess I could see where he was coming from. The writing feels oddly clunky and does not have that smooth, stream-like quality good prose possesses as the writer weaves it through the reader's brain. Hell, even plot-wise, it all starts off pretty slowly, and the book's thriller/suspense ...

When it comes to Hannibal Lecter, I’m like one of those music hipster douche bags that everyone hates because I’ll snootily declare that I knew about him long before most people did and that he’s sucked ever since he got really famous. I’d read this years before the book of The Silence of the Lambs came out and led to the excellent film adaptation that skyrocketed Hannibal to the top of pop culture villains. Hell, I’m so Hannibal-hip that I’d caught Brian Cox playing him in Michael Mann’s adapta...
