I read Red Dragon over a decade ago, and, while I have no need to reread it (I remember every little cringe-inducing detail), it has popped up on my 17 Books for People Who Hate People Reading Challenge. So here's a review.I don't think there's a single bad thing to be said about Red Dragon. It's one of the only thrillers that ever truly scared me. The killer and his "becoming" has stayed with me for ten-plus years, and I firmly believe it's the best book in the Hannibal Lecter series. SilenceMine is a late entry into the world of Hannibal Lecter, and I regret it, but better late than never. Brilliant narration from Thomas Harris, kept me on the edge. I was fervently perusing the pages, hoping against hope that the Tooth Fairy, pardon me, Dragon, would not hunt down Graham. The pacing was perfect and never for a moment did Harris digress from the plot and neither it lead to the dreary repetition of psychological/crime thrillers.Eagerly looking forward to read the rest of the novels
Like a poisonous snake on the attack, this novel bites again and again and again, leaving its victim shaken and disturbed. I am somehow one of the only people in the known universe who had never read anything by Thomas Harris Ive remedied that, and am now moving on to this books follow-up, Silence of the Lambs. Hard case mystery and bloody tale of the macabre in equal measure, Harris explores the sociopathic psychology without fear or hesitation: Frances Dolarhyde and Dr. Hannibal Lecter come
Ill admit, I watched both the movies and the tv show before getting around to reading this series. Im slightly ashamed of that because the books are heaps better than either the show or the movies although I loved those as well and theyre definitely what got me into Hannibal in the first place. The books are in a league of their own though! I was completely drawn in right from the very first page and despite having a slight idea of the story (There are MAJOR difference between books/movies/tv
In which Jack Crawford thinks it's a good idea to get help from Will Graham in a 'just one more case' style. A serial killed, named 'the Tooth Fairy' (at first) has killed two families, and he's asking Graham's help in finding the killer before he strikes again. Some help comes from the killer Graham caught before, one named Hannibal Lecter (this is not the novel where he shows up a lot, but I can see how he became popular already from here).I have seen the older movie of this book, though I
SO much better than I thought it was going to be. Though word of advise, don't read this thinking it's about Hannibal Lecter. It's sort of an introductory to the character, but as a passing antagonist that you know you should fear. They real story lies with Will Graham and his hunt for the serial killer - The Tooth Fairy a.k.a Francis Dolarhyde. A man trapped in his own delusion of a higher power calling to him and killing two families in cold blood. The suspense rises and falls and there are
When it comes to Hannibal Lecter, Im like one of those music hipster douche bags that everyone hates because Ill snootily declare that I knew about him long before most people did and that hes sucked ever since he got really famous. Id 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, Im so Hannibal-hip that Id caught Brian Cox playing him in Michael Manns adaptation
