Di certo non è un romanzo adatto ai deboli di stomaco e a quelli che si impressionano facilmente, perchè il romanzo è ricco di scene crude che mettono i brividi, dovrete essere pronti a tutto. C'è stato un pezzo nel romanzo che non ho ben compreso, la scelta dell'autore di parlare sempre in terza persona anche di un coccodrillo, scena che non c'entrava nulla con la storia. Il finale è leggermente aperto, ma la penso come Giusy che Harris ha voluto farci capire che la vita di Cari continuerà, e se la caverà come ha sempre fatto da sola, contando solo sulle sue forze come ha sempre fatto fin dai campi di addestramento. Cari Mora è un thriller che fa capire che i nostri peggiori incubi potrebbero prendere forma. Ammetto che non so se leggerò altro di questo autore.

Er worden je veel gruwelijkheden om de oren geworpen, maar het zegt niet zoveel. Het boek mist een bepaalde persoonlijkheid, diepte, betrokkenheid. Dus knipper ik niet een keer met mijn ogen bij de zoveelste moord. Daarom geen waardig vervolg op de Hannibal-reeks, tenminste als je het mij vraagt. Door de korte hoofdstukken en het simpele taalgebruik leest het boek wel lekker weg. En, toegegeven, het einde is erg bevredigend.
While Thomas Harris' writing style is sublime as ever the actual story is confusing and seems to have little momentum. It feels more like a series of events happening to an assortment of characters who aren't fleshed out enough to be memorable. Then it ends.

Achei meio enrolado no início e é bem pesado, mas foi rápido de ler. É uma história muito interessante, bem diferente de “o silêncio dos inocentes” que é do mesmo autor

It's been a while since I read The Silence of the Lambs and Thom bought me Cari Mora when he saw that it was Thomas Harris' new novel.
I don't even really know where to start. Cari herself is alright. Her story as a child is somewhat interesting and in my opinion would make a better story. Also, every character that meets her only views her as a sexual object, which gets tired really quickly. Instead, we're given Hans-Peter Schneider, a stereotypical villian. There's no depth to him, no depth to any of the characters really. His crew are so unremarkable that I can't remember who's who and as they get killed a new one comes along with another unremarkable name and description. The basic plot is that there is gold buried under a house that used to belong to Pablo Escobar, in a box that has been booby-trapped. It's a shame because it had the real potential to be a great story, but it was just... *meh*. I considered giving up several times and now that I'm finished, I don't really remember much of what happened. Stick with Hannibal.

There's a lot of book packed into this novella; it has a protagonist who is exactly what you want in a protagonist (relateable and human but also way more competent and up to the task at hand than the average reader could ever hope to be) vs. a villain who is a carnival of depravity, with a setting that lives and breaths.

I can't believe this is the same guy who wrote The Silence of the Lambs.
