Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Although there are some strange ways of writing 'yeah' in dialogue

Better than its previous instalment by virtue of having more Lecter in it. The plot is also basically just Jonathan Demme's 1991 movie with a little more lore drops and detail. Surprisingly, a lot of the dialogue in the film is straight-up taken from this book, which is a discovery I really liked.

Hannibal and Clarice's interactions spark good banter and tension, and are easily the best part of this book.
