And I don't begrudge a writer the right to his vision, but it was weak; especially compared to the previous novels.

an author shouldnt write a book in anticipation that there will immediately be a movie made from it.

thats exactly what Hannibal felt like ...
Harris writing with a producer standing over his shoulder - with a fistfull of money.
