Reviews
Good stuff
5By Paris McDoogalTerrific book. Interesting yet believable dialogue throughout and compelling insight into characters’ points of view. Well written and engaging prose. No frilly long-winded or meandering descriptions. Just effective, direct, character-driven narrative with a strong forward motion.Re-read after years. Still a favorite.
5By MherveI read this book years ago after seeing Silence of the Lambs, and really enjoyed it. I’ve since seen the movie with Ed Norton and Harvey Keitel, and thought it was very true to the book. Decided to go back and read this book again while on vacation and found it hard to put it down at times. Re-reading the book gave me a new appreciation for the movie rendition, as the actors really came to mind while reading and I found myself remembering much of the dialog being the same. Still one of my favorite books, and my favorite of Thomas Harris’ books.Excellent!
5By Maylene92I loved the balance between the different point of views. Made you forget sometimes that you’re not supposed to be rooting for the killer. Definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great mystery/thriller.Amazing
5By ctriptonThe book is by far way better than the movie. I did not know this was a book until a month or so ago. Not to many books grab me but this one has. Hopefully the next one is just as goodWhere it all Began
5By Agent Cooper is my PatronusGreat start to a series-3- meh
4By KERCCAAmazing book, but I think it could’ve done better. I still give it four stars, because it was very captivating and satisfying, which I very hard to find in most books. Also, to the jerk who gave a one star and said the book gave him aids, hate to break it to you, buddy, but that’s not possible. So, maybe after you consult with some mental helpers, you can change you review to one that makes sense, and doesn’t consist of DELUSIONS. -3- mehGood
