This was one great book! The suspense just builds and builds until you can't stand but to read the whole thing in one setting. Harris does a great job of bringing you into the book with such great vivid and exacting details. A great read that will scare and gross you out, but you'll forever cherish in your memory.

I've read all the Hannibal books now, and each one just gets better. This book was soo amazing, I could hardly put it down! It kept you in suspense, and the last hundred-or-so pages is my favorite, and I keep reading it over and over. I thought the ending was perfect, paul krendler deserved it, and Clarice and Hannibal make a strange, but interesting couple. Ya better go read it now!

This book makes you use your imagination at it's furthest and it is all ruined at the end. Hannibal should of eaten her or something-anything-other than that. She's too smart to fall into his twisted life style.

I read the book last week and saw the movie two hours ago. The book and the movie are two different experiences as one would expect. Don't miss the book. It won't disappoint you if you want your senses overwhelmed--the shock value alone is worth the book's cover price. If you want something "tasty," see the movie. Regardless of your expectations, don't let us wait another 10 years for the next entree.

I had seen Silence of the Lambs as a child, and had not read or seen anything else of Dr. Lector. That is until, I was searching for a book to read on my flight home from San Francisco. Hannibal was a fantastic book. The plot was ok, but Hannibal Lector is just about the coolest killer I know of. He is intelligent, and highly sophisticated. He is able to play with a victim's mind and then literally consume them in the most unusual ways. Such a complex character would be impossible to pass up.

One of the best novels I have ever read. It's tasteful, in spite of the gory scenes and it shows that a lot of research has been done by the author in order to give the reader a book that is worth reading. I' m very sorry that I had to read the Greek translation, because I am sure that I have missed a lot and I don't mean that as an insult to the translator. I can understand why some people are not able to understand this novel but I have to say they completely missed the point, in my opinion. Sometimes, it's useful to keep an open mind.
