Book Review of Hannibal (Hannibal Lecter, Bk 3)

Hannibal (Hannibal Lecter, Bk 3)
reviewed Harris has slipped his leash on + 14 more book reviews


Red Dragon was brilliant. Silence of the Lambs was even better. Hannibal - not so much.

I do not understand why Harris is trying to make Lecter a sympathetic character. I do not believe it can be done. It certainly wasn't down with this book. I'm not going to waste my time with the sequel - Hannibal Rising.

The second star is because it is a compelling read because of the writing and story-telling ability of the author. I wish he'd find someone else to write about.
