Personally I think it is the best Harris book (and Hannibal was just so disappointing). Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs both have some incredibly well-written moments of suspense that are just absolutely blood chilling.:eek:

the crap excuse for a book 'hannibal' is a direct result of a writer being swallowed up by the hollywood machine ..
either that or he just didnt have that much left in him.

i think it was the influence of the movies myself ... hannibal the character becoming some superhuman anti-hero because the movie audiences couldnt get enough of him ...

sort of like Dr Evil running away with the Austin Powers movies :)
