Hannibal Lecter is my new favorite literary character. What have I become?Morals? Don't know her.Standards? Out the window.Feminist card? Revoked. I won't pretend I've never been attracted to bad boys or morally ambiguous men, but I can say I've never liked a character who eats people (with some fava beans and a big Amarone). The embodiment of Lana Del Rey's Baby, I'm a sociopath, sweet serial killer, on the warpath, 'cause I love you just a little too much, I love you just a little too much. ...

AGNELLISono approdato al libro dopo aver visto il film. E per quanto il romanzo funzioni, non sia un capolavoro, ma è efficace e avvincente, il film sovrasta nettamente il confronto: perché il film è invece magnifico, a suo modo, e nel suo genere, un autentico capolavoro.E certo dopo – dopo libro e film – i serial killer hanno un altro spessore, sono diventati, per così dire, di casa. E probabilmente questa storia può essere considerata la madre di tutti i serial killer.Ce n’è uno che sequestra ...

I have a love hate sort of relationship with this book.At times I marvel at the intelligence and wittiness of Hannibal and other times I can't get my mind past through the things like body shaming , status of women which is highly exploited in this book! I didn't liked the movie at all because of all those details they missed and to be honest we can't review this book without the honorable mention of movie!We will start with what I don't like then moving on with what I like so that we can end on...

Me ha gustado muchísimo. La trama es espectacularmente entretenida y los personajes bien construídos. Difiere un poco de la película, pero ambas son extraordinarias.
Teniendo en cuenta que es un libro largo, la acción se desarrolla en unos días. Me ha sorprendido por bien.
Un apunte: Lecter es el mejor defensor de la comida vegetariana.

3.5 STARS"Be very careful with Hannibal Lector. Dr. Chilton, the head of the mental hospital, will go over the physical procedure you use to deal with him. Don't deviate from it. Do not deviate from it one iota for any reason... We both know you have to back-and-forth a little in interviews, but you tell him no specifics about yourself. You don't want any of your personal facts in his head."Bet you thought I was never going to write this review, huh? ;) Well, it turns out I just needed a good lo...

5 STARS!! Full review up.This was fantastic!!I went into The Silence of the Lambs hesitant that this book would not be as great as the movie, OR I wouldn't be able to get the movie characters out of my head.You see, I’ve seen The Silence of the Lambs 3 to 4 times in my life and I know the plot too well. I've loved the movie since the first time I watched it!The movie came out in 1991 but I didn't watch it until I was 17, in 1995. I'm glad I waited because the nightmares would have sucked at age ...

4.5★Loved the movie. Loved the book. The Kindle edition is slightly, tainted, with numbers, sporadically-interweaved into the text - which I assume, judging by the percentage I was currently on (when the numbers appeared) - is the actual page number. No biggie. Just a bit jarring, as my edition of the novel had location numbering at the bottom. Don't know why they do that - but, whatever. I'm impressed by how close the movie is to the source material, just like Manhunter was to the Red Dragon bo...

Why?Many years from now, historians will look back on this story and wonder why it was so important. And believe me, my friends, important it was. Today, most thrillers and police procedurals gets measured against it.For this review, I will refer to TSOTL as the story, because I'm going to talk about the book, movie, facts, fiction and some of my own opinions.TSOTL was the second Dr. Hannibal Lector story. It was also the second movie adaptation - wait just a damn moment, you might be saying to ...

CONTENT ANNOUNCEMENT: Out of respect for Thomas Harris’s superb novel, I have decided that no pictures of ANTHONY HOPKINS will appear in this review. Thank you for your understanding.4.0 to 4.5 stars. Another one of those terrific situations where I saw the movie first (and loved it) and then eventually decided to read the book... and loved it too. Score!!! Now assuming that most people not suffering from the after-effects of severe head trauma know the basic plot concerning FBI trainee “Hello.....

Call me a freak, but I have a bit of a crush on Hannibal Lecter. He may be the scariest fuck out there (certainly scarier than the supposed monster of the book, Buffalo Bill), but he just oozes style and knowledge. In fact, he has so much style and knowledge that he doesn't come off as a ridiculous prick when he says things like, 'A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone'* or 'Can you smell his sweat? That peculiar goatish odour is trans-3-...
